sliding cam plate forward
I put a cam plate on my truck and Ive had a number of people say I should slide it forward to get a bit more power from the thing. Is this a good idea with an aftermarket plate? How far forward from the stock position? Does the governor arm need to be adjusted again?

BUT since u already have gauges, bumping the plate forward is a good idea. And yes ur governer arm will have to be adjusted again...

so how does the plate work? The governor arm starts off touching the bottom of the plate at WOT and then rides up it as RPMs increase? Or do I have that backwards?
so sliding it forward adds the slid amount to the whole rev range?
Its a **** shame my trans wont handle the torque down low when the pressures are low.. it really pulls like a tank on the bottom end of the rev range.
up top its revving like a gasser and the torque is lower.
