Default Delete plates on an NA motor?
Hey guys,

What are your thoughts about delete plates on an NA motor? I realize the main increase is up top, but how does it feel at low or mid RPM

I wouldn't waste the money or the gas. I'd stay away from that mod. I thought I heard somewhere about losing power down low and it was quite noticeable seat of the pants.

you lose a little low end torque but gain about 10whp on the top end.

Easy install. And to me it was worth the money.

You lose a little low end torque but it makes up for it past 3000 rpm.

Agree with rshamekh on easy install, and the worth factor. And for me, I didn't
feel any loss at low end with 4:10 gears.

Same thoughts as everyone else, a small loss on low end torque and a good gain above 3000 rpm. Money well spent.

Kinda retarded that brenspeed only sells the $300 billets. You have to go elsewhere to get the economy plates. $300 for 10 peak whp w00t what a deal!
