I turned mine with the stocker plate. Runs just fine. all it does is start fueling the truck at less boost. Do some web surfing there is tons of info out there. Thats wher I got mine but alos on here. Turn and play I did it 3-4 times befor I found the spot I liked

turning it towards the battery compresses that spring adding more tension taking more boost pressure to move rod and foot
