haha we have CDS comp DV's in all of our comp pumps. they do work great in comp use but run hot and smokey on the street. I've went from full cut/laser cut comp valves to 042 DDP DV's and actually gained a lot on the bottom on the street. We've tapped into plenty and if what we have isn't enough we have a Scheid 14mm pump on the shelf on standby :thumb:
And you made my point exactly,, the plate limits travel,, you throw a rack plug in, remove the plate,, your chances of hanging the rack just increased 10 fold. There's no reason to remove it unless you are too tight to buy a good plate that fits your needs or simply don't know better. We've got $14K in the bottom end and I know thats minor compared to a lot of them out there but if I lost that cause i was to cheap to spring for a couple hundred dollar adjustable plate from Scheid I'd be effin sick. If you're running a 4K spring chances are it may not be as ugly but with pumps capable of 6K plus,, hang a rack once and you'll make sure it never happens again. Also most of the guys with no plates are the one's with no air shut off,,,,,, thats when it gets ugly for them.
