i've been runnin plateless with fuel arm full foward and afc housing forward and have had absolutely no trouble. i would say if you want fuel mileage to leave a plate in but for the people that arent like that i would say take it out

just throw a 100 in and call it good if the pumps were designed to run without a fuel plate i think bosch would have not added a fuel plate, but since they designed one with one i guess its the smart way to go

Ive had Stock, #11, #10, #6, custom #4, #100, #0, Custom 10, Banks, custom pensacola and a few other custom ideas ive had.

My .02 is there is no better plate than the 100.

I have never run plateless. other than the #0.... I plan to pull it this weekend and I will report back with my findings.

Default Runnning Plateless

i Have been running plateless for quite a long while now, origianlly planned to ru nit a few days but have'nt had time r reason to put it back in. does good without it. Thinking about taking out my afc arm as well. anybody done that? Just a little concerned about my piro's heatin up. nice think about the 12v, you can always tinker and change it back if it dont work. anyhow give me your thoughts on it, thanks..

keep the afc in there and mod it to get more travel. If you take it out you right foot becomes the new air fuel control

Default Fuel plate or No Fuel Plate

I have ran with #0 fuel plate for over a year and I can tell a different and power and smoke!!! I took the plate out this last week to see if I can tell if it make a difference I leaned that it does make a little different but not much as for power I have no way of telling how much it made but I could tell it add a little more power. As for smoke it Didn't smoke any more the the #0 plate did. So if you are doing it for more power I believe it would help. But if you are doing it for smoke it would be better to ground it off to #0
