Exact as the stock plate...

Had to adjust the starwheel quite a few times...

Think I have it perfect now...

Need an exhaust tip since my fender is BLACK!

I am still running the stock intake, I want one, but don't really need the EGT drop. The stock box will flow enough for up to about 300 hp.

What do your EGT's read under full acceleration in 4th?

How much of a difference did the GSK make on your 215?

Stock clutch?

Congrats on installing the plate So the plate is in the stock position? Why not slide it full forward and take it for a test drive just to see how u like it?

I don't know how to adjust the gov. arm...

And I hear of people breaking things when they start going nuts...

Reminds me of this picture I saw of a guy holding up a twisted driveshaft

I don't have EGT issues, I have never seen over 1350* but I also don't floor it. I can slip my stock clutch pretty much at will, and don't have the money to replace it now, so I drive easy in 4th

The GSK is nice, full fuel to 3400 RPM

Timing make a big bit of difference?

Ever break anything?

I did it all at once. And no carnage yet. Other than a dying clutch.

Makes me want to go out now!

I like this power, and since this truck is my wife and daughters bread and butter I think I'm gonna stop for a while...

Can't have downtime...

Does the plate put a hurting on the drivetrain, shorten the life of the engine?

Sorry for all of the questions, but y'all saw how long it took me to put the plate in
