Fuel Plate#12 to #11

firstturn said:

I am looking to get a bit more power primarily to help with towing of our 26 foot toy hauler. A few years ago I installed a #12 fuel plate, I am considering replacing it with the #11 fuel plate. Associated engine upgrades are cold air intake and 4" exhaust. According to TST it should give me an increase in both torque and HP. Would this be worth it and/or will I need any additional parts? I want to ensure my EGTs don't get too high.

First....is your #12 plate slid full forward? That alone will give you some fuel. I would only suggest a #10 for towing, if you already know EGT's are going to be an issue to be watched.

I would suggest going right to a #100, or #0. The ten is a good all around plate for keeping your EGT's in check, however with a #100 or #0, it's not that hard to slide it back a little if you can't keep EGT's in control with your MFILive. You could also just remove your plate completely and see how out of control your EGT's get. If you can't control them, then throw one of these plates back in.

Also, it's just a piece of metal. I would buy the cheapest one you can find. They are WAY overpriced. If you feel comfortable doing it, you can even grind your stock one to one of these "performance" profiles.

Realistically how difficult is the AFC mod tune (as noted in your signature) and what kind of results could I expect?
