Default fuel plate specs

Has anyone done the measurements and math on rpms vs rise on the fuel plate? I need to get mine back in until i get the bigger turbo in so i can do over 55 on the freeway up a hill under 1100*

I'd like to actually make a correct one for where I want fuel.

Im not sure if anyone has those measurements. What pump do you have? Im going to guess its a 215 seeing as how you have 215 injectors. What is your current AFC setup?

If you have a 215 pump I would suggest a #11 plate. Then pull spme more fuel out of it with yoour AFC setup.

nope 180 pump, picked up the 215 sticks for $120. Right now the AFC spring is all the way loose, tuning it is on the to do list, but i'm getting so much fuel with so little turbo right now, I want to leave the plate fat just up to freeway cruising rpms so they will stay low going down the road, then basically right angle right over it to a 0.

Loose AFC Spring=Alot Of Low End Fueling which will make EGT's high.

Tighten the spring up and go from there.

Personally.....
Being that your in Arizona I would not have a 0 plate in for daily driving.Way to much plate to run the Flag with and expect EGT's to stay managable.

Its on my to do list. the shops around here want more than the cost of a timing set to do it, so my buddy is hooking me up with snap on set for cheap.

I'm actually in MT now so its not so bad. I put a bigger actuator on the wastegate and now its a lot more manageable. as long as I can keep rolling 80mph I'm fine, its the acceleration from ~65-80 that is killer.

Should have the timing set within a couple weeks, and new turbo on within a month. I was just hoping someone had measured it out like a guy on compD did on the whole AFC.
