powerplate question

Hey Jason,
My power plate for accufab TB came in yesterday. Nice piece!
Should I leave the EGR blocked or drill the hole? If I leave it blocked by the plate, do I have to do anything with the valve?
I'm not concerned about emissions. Is there much bennefit to blocking it?
Thanks in advance, Vic

No 10 sec. timeslips for me (yet) but I've run a best of 11.40 with the powerplate and stock plenum and throttle body.
My previous best before the PP was a 11.38 @ 26psi at the traps. With the PP and reducing the preload on my lifters I went 11.40 @ 22.5psi at the traps. In addition, my 60' time on the 11.40 run was also about .06 slower. I can't say for sure if the PP has really helped me... but it definately isn't hurting. For about $50 I definately think it was worth the try.
Thanks again Jason!!

Jace it went 6.60 @ 104 10.52 @ 106 a few weeks ago. I had two much fuel in it and we got rained out right after that pass. I think if the 60 would of came around and with some more tuning that day it would of went low 40s or high 30s. Thanks jason And thanks steve Y for the max effort-r The car is also very consistant. About a month ago it went 10.69.4 10.69.4 10.69.5 In my three qualifing passes.
Thanks for all the replys
the thing I was wondering is with the plate on did it cut the cylinder press. down? (i.e.25psi at the T/B and 20 at the cylinder ) so would you have to up the boost to make it up what you lost? my being restrictive. im not putting the plate down at all becouse I could see a diffrence as soon as I started the car it ideled alot better and a more smooth pull ..

Jason,
As you stated, on your car on back to back runs you slow down .1-.15 w/o the plate. Do you see any change in boost, EGT, etc? I'm assuming if your car runs better with the plate due to improved mixture distribution you would see some indication of this.
Thanks for your time,
Jim
