i have a 97 12valve cummins and was wondering what side of the fuel plate to shave off to gain more power

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

i was wanting a cheap way to get more power i already have a #6 plate

 

Welcome....


I would suggest a 100:




But you should have at least a boost guage and pyrometer.

 

do you have any other tips for quick power upgrades other then the normal

 

tune ur AFC, and plug ur wastegate on your turbo

 

does anyone turn the pumps up anymore?

 

ya i cut mine to a #100 at my house and i like the outcome it gave me.
ya you can adjust the starwheel forward more

 

how do you plug the wastgate

 

this is turning the pump up

I really think this is not a good idea

 

A tuned wastegate is better than a plugged wastegate....And "turning up the pump"...theres not just one magical bolt you turn to make another 500hp....You must TUNE your pump so all your mods work together, Your plate profile, Goverened speed, AFC mods, rack travel. You must also tune to work with your turbo, injectors, timing, valve springs etc... To get the most HP you can out of your engine everything must work the best they can with everything else...
