burhead Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I just bought one from FAST. I bought it with a bunch of other parts but I am guessing it was around 50 bucks or so. So far I am pleased with the results. it was a cheap and easy mod. Mine is made by ricky stator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieSquid Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I bought the billet chariot timing plate. Stay away from the cast aluminum they suck. The bolts strip out easily And the threading on em suck Gaurantee to strip out. Rule of thumb Buy Cheap Buy Twice. I recomend the chariot plate. It wakes up these engines by a lot, Theres a lot of horsepower in them waiting to be discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skin ind. banshee Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 does the timing plate effect the top end ? like powerband or speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the chariot is nice for the money, but in my experience with the ricky stator timing plates, ive had good succes, no problems on both the ones i have!

bansheesandrider Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I haveheard of alot of people stripping the threads in the cast plates, which I beleive the Ricky Stator piece is. The Chariot plate is a billet piece and I have not heard of any problems with it. When it comes to parts you usually get what you pay for, unless it is a manufacturer that has gotten real proud of their stuff, like Pro Design has. Advancing your timing will boost your bottom end and mid range, it can hurt your top end power if you go to far. You also need to be aware thar it can cause preignition and higher octane fuel may be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 just do it. even if you have to pay $100 for it (just sayin), still cheapest power for the $$$$. i run the chariot, found it on ebay i think for like $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodneya Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 does the timing plate effect the top end ? like powerband or speed? A little more bottom end, and a little less top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skin ind. banshee Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 so 4+ is safe to run on 92 and give me some low and mid range power ..and not take to much top power off ....will this take my top mph down if i put this on?

Yes it would be safe, you will love it, i don't think you will notice any top speed loss. +4 seems to be the sweet spot with your set up.

skin ind. banshee Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 i just got my timing plate from chariot racing now do i use blue or red lock tight it didnt specify in the directions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Smoke Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 i just got my timing plate from chariot racing now do i use blue or red lock tight it didnt specify in the directions ? As a general rule, if a fastener requires loctite..... always use blue. The only time you use red is when you want something to be permanent or you don't mind using heat and/or a breaker bar to get it apart.
