How much additional boost did the PowerPlate let you run with no additional knock?

Well.....I always have the boost set to 16-17 with 93octane and no additives.
I would get about 5* kr.
With the plate now....same boost setting with 0* - 2* kr.
IMO....money well spent.

Are those of you who have voted 'none' a similar story? ie, you had been running X lbs with Y knock and after the Powerplate you still run X but the knock has decreased?

I personally could not continue to drive around knowing I was running too much boost for the octane in the tank (5º of KR) but thats just me.

I was able to run 1 more # of boost after the plate and it made the car idle better.

I tune for <6*

I did'nt gain any boost,but, 5and 6 cylinders arn't lean anymore. All my plugs look the same now. Before 5and 6 were very lean.

I went from running 18 psi with alky and no knock; to running 18 psi with no alky and no knock after the install of the power plate. Before putting the car away for the winter I was running up to 20 psi with no knock on alky. So depend on the variables, probably 1-2 more psi.
