Homemade Delete plates, worth the time?

[Redfireshaker06]

A friend of mine gave me his old Charge motion valves. I was wondering if its worth the time and effort to make them into delete valves? If so, can someone tell me the benefits. Thanks in advance

If you got nothing better to do on a weekend Id say its worth it, damn near a free mod besides the cost of the retune.

some say they feel a small increase in power, I can't say if it's true or not since I haven't done CMDP's. But I do have a set of stockers and am going to do the mod. There's a link in the DIY, if nothing else it'll keep broken butterfly valves from making naughty with the tops of your pistons. Going to be a winter project for me. Once I get them done I'll buy a tune and swap em in and out.

i think its worth it, i noticed a little difference.

I also noticed a difference with delete plates, especially in the mid to upper RPM range.

Small difference here too, and if they were free, go for it!

Do you lose a lot of low end TQ?

Mine are home-made and I gained a tenth at the track! Hope that helps

Delete plates and cams do loose low end power number wise but at the track it's a different story. My 60', 330, 660 and 1/4 miles times were the same if not a little better with both of these mods.

With a good tune you'll never feel the miniscual reported loss.

did mine with cai, shorties and tune did awsome... then did spr cams did awsome... now its forged and turbocharged on 8 psi.. and still the plates are awsome lol

why are they awsome... because they were free and they worked great lol

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

IMO, "free" adds at least 5 ponies.....lol

 

[Redfireshaker06]

Lets add this then. Is it worth the cost of adding it to the tune if the tuner does not do it for free? lol

yep, plus it looks better on your signature line.

Hell just for safety's sake alone it's worth it.

i say do it. it's very simple to do and it shouldn't cost you more than 10 bucks in to plug the holes. i've heard people say they aren't willing to take the risk of one of the plugs coming out, but these are mine after 10k. every single plug is tight as the day i did it.

I'm just a worrywort, psycho. My luck never goes with me.

don't know that it's about luck most of the time. quality of work helps also
