Towing or not? Most seem to like a 10, maybe an 8 plate (but more pyro watching) when towing. If not towing I am not sure.

only thing i tow is parts that take a poop.

 

[txsmoker]

Yes and no.... there is no defueling but there is that small control so that the arm wont overtravel

I was told to get the #8. Also to get 5x12s.
Does your truck smoke a lot with the 5x14s?

only a puff at line

The fuel plate is like a idiot light, it prevents people who don't watch their gauges from burning up their motor. Adjust the AFC correctly and let AFC spring match the fuel to boost instead fuel to throttle postion.

I personally don't like fuel plates, but they do have there place. To limit fuel on a truck with multiple drivers such as a company truck or one you might lend to your 16yr old son.
If you don't have an EGT gauge or don't want to worry about watching it then a fuel plate would be needed. Other wise drive your truck. And remember that fuel plates only limit max fueling at a given rpm. They don't produce different fueling curves - the AFC spring does that.

well said....

If your AFC spring is to light or tired from 298k, running no plate would lend it self to high EGTs and alot of smoke.
Correct the problem by restreching your stock spring (which is easy to do) or by replacing it with a new one to achieve correct spring preload.
