i've read bout torque plates but i have no clue how they work...i read that #5 torque plates have more horse and torque than a #11. im guessin the lower the number the more horse you get. it said...The torque plate is the throttle stop. Think of a piece of wood under your loud pedal. The thinner the piece of wood the more throttle you have. It's the same thing with a torque plate. ALMOST! The throttle position at WOT (Wide Open Throttle) is determined by a "feeler" piece of metal that contacts the torque plate. Where the complication comes in is that the feeler contacts the torque plate at different places depending on the RPM at WOT. Thus the torque plates have a shape ground into them. Since the feeler comes from the rear to contact the plate you can achieve more fuel at WOT by just moving the stock plate forward in it's adjustment slots. However, the stock plate shape is not all that good for operation in that position because of Exhaust Gas Temp (EGT) problems. but the #0 dont have any grooves in it. its perfectly straight. so what do i need to do.
