to 3k gsk or not to 3k gsk
Rebuilt tranny, just got in the #10 plate and 3kgsk. Tst's notes say "tst recommends use of the gsk with only the #10 torque plate with 215 hp engines or the #4 torque plate with the 160-180 hp engines, vehicle may run worse than stock if recommendation is ignored"
I have the 98 12 valve auto which I think is the 180hp. Should I put in the gsk?

I put the 3gsk in my '98 (180Hp). I had a Banks Kit in it already which used (I think) about a #10 plate. At first it didn't perform right. Then I found that the GSK caused the gov. lever to pass below the plate. I adjusted it and shazaam, instant power all the way to 3200RPM. It ran like a turpentined cat.

Danavilla hit the nail on the head. If it doesent run good, adjust the governor arm, and you are back in business. When I had my old plate in my truck and put the GSK in, I had to adjust the governor arm, but it was sweet after that.

Siebertl,

Be VERY careful not to back off the screw too far and drop it in the pump.
