ok then you can really only slightly adjust the plate because too mutch power will blow ur tranny.... make sure you keep an eye in ur trans temp.

i beilieve anywhere over 200* tranny temp the fluid starts to break down and cause rapid wear. i've hard most guys that want a little extra fuel slide the plate FF and then back it off 1/16-1/8 of an inch. it'll give ya some more fuel but it isnt anything too drastic. stocker internals on the transmission will handle more than the torque convertor. w/o an upgraded TC your going to just cause abunch of headaches for yourself

I dont have a plate so with that being said will adjusting the star wheel make any difference at all. Because my truck likes to smoke and i like it not to.
