Default #100 fuel plate

so i ordered my fuel plate off ebay... some shi yang yong guy sent me the "wong" plate . i ordered a #5, it was that or the #10 but decided to get the 5. anyways, ended up with a #100 in the box when i received it. so, question is... return it or keep it. i know as with anyplate and stock drivetrain i'd have to take it easy. but, will the #100 be too much to always worry about with my setup. kinda not looking to spend money on a clutch and transmission so avoiding that would be awesome. thanks guys

A 100 is good with a standard tranny - not near as good if you have an automatic.

so i should be good with the #100.... i just wanted to make sure. i also know that if i start slipping that i can just turn the fuel down.... just wanted to make sure i could come down enough with the 100 if needed. so the 100 it is then, thanks man. also, just wondering a ballpark on how much hp i should gain with just the plate upgrade. about 50-75 right?

If its a stick truck you may gain that much.....
It is very dependent on what charger your using and how well your tuning ability is also.

However,if the truck is a automatic you will not see as much of a gain in power.

yeah, it's a stick hammerand i've read up on tuning alot and it's pretty good before the plate upgrade. so we'll see after, but question about my stock plate. before i switched them out played with the stocker while still in. the arm hit the bottom first notch on the plate and stayed their thru full travel until the arm backed back off the plate. it didn't travel up the plate at all, just kindas got caught on the first notch. i think the 100 should fix this cause there's no notches to get caught on . this means that i've not even been operating at full stock plate right? or is that how the stocker works?

put the 100 in and made sure everything was working right, and it's doing the same thing. the arm hits the bottom but not under the plate. it rides just barely up the plate, and right when the 100 slopes off for full fuel the arm reaches full throttle and backs off the plate. it's not moving up the plate thru fueling at all, it just stays at the bottom of the plate. any reasons for this?

hey whitmore, thanks man. but i wasn't very clear sorry, the arm isn't hitting below the plate, it's properly adjusted. my problem is that it won't move up the plate but like 2mm. it just stays in the basically same position until it backs off the plate at full fuel.... so do i have worn out springs? has 300,000 miles on it.... i dunno what else it could be, but i'm sure someone who actually knows what their talking about could correct me

bump .... still need some help with the problem of the arm not traveling up the plate. it just sits there at the bottom of the plate, and it's correctly adjusted and hitting exactly where needed on the plate with the shutoff sylenoid in the run position. thanks guys
