finally got around to moving the stock plate forward

on my truck and woohoo that's a little spiceyer improvement then i was expecting, i pushed it full forward and on the first test drive i could of blocked out the sun with my dual exhaust

unfortunately for him there was a later ford diesel behind me when i got on it, just about anybody was going to get hammered as i had straight clear road infront of me but hey, what better thing to soot

the afc was all of the way slack and forward, before with it like that id get one puff if i stomped it off the line and it'd clear up totally with boost maxing out at around 29# climbing the big mississippi river bridge in 5th just before the pump started defueling around 2800-2900, now i can hit 30# at around 2500 rpm in the same place and i think egts are cooler now then when the plate was in stock position, i haven't driven it enough yet to say but i wasn't hitting 1200* flogging through the gears, i put several turns on the star wheel and it needs a couple more to ice the indiscriminate sooting when going through the gears in traffic but woohoo
