Title: Ride plate opinions?
Post by: 69kona on April 24, 2016, 09:00:20 PM: Getting my turd faster and wondering if the hardware in water is robbing me of mph or take off... Any ideas of ride plate with out removing intake
Would it help my take off from dead stop ?

The latter Diverter nozzle has a wide flat bottom that can really enhance performance.
