A 0 plate full forward is the same as plateless. At this point is all depending on the foot feed. How far you foot travels is how much fuel you get. Simply put. Do a little searching and you can find cut away pictures and charts and pictures of fuel plate science. The searh function is your friend

The fuel plate is a rack stop. The point where your fuel plate is out, the plug in the front of the pump has become the rack stop. The rack travels forward and rests on the plate. With sloped plates you have less fuel at the bottom of your rpms to help with drivetrain shock and people who just like to hammer on the throttle from a stop. With out a plate you get however much fuel you want to give it. The farther the rack travels toward the front of the pump the more fuel is supplied.

This is a simple not scientific explanation. There is alot more to it but just trying to shed some light.
