What about the Willys Carb restrictor plate? That is adjustable without adding or removing plates.

I used a Willy's a few times when I was running some index races and it worked really well for me. Only problem I ever had was the threaded part started loosening and the vibration would cause it to open, someone told me about putting a little locktite on the threads and never had another issue. I did use it at a couple division races in hot rod and it was very dialable, my car was a slower car so the loss of mph was not an issue to me because I was used to looking over my shoulder 98% of the time anyway.

I think if you are simply trying to shave a little in ET then these systems are likely the best way to go.

Agree with this 100%, my car was a low hp car and would only be on the throttle stop around a half second and sometimes could be very unpredictable at times. I would say for racers only needing to slow down 3 or 4 tenths this would be the way to go otherwise go for the mph.

Been using Willy's adjustable restrictor plate for the past 6 seasons. That said, there is no simplier, easier or quicker way to adjust your ET up to 5+ tenths in less than 30 seconds.

Thanks for the input. I think the Willy's deal is the way to go for my car.

Good choice. As has been stated, just put a drop of loctite( I use red) on the adjustment threads then turn all the way in and back out before using/setting the first time.

I use the Willys for 7.0 racing and had the same issues with it moving by it self, use Locktite on it and very stable. I am happy with it but have several friends that use E-Z Plate and I like it also and the owner is VERY HELPFUL when you call to discuss. Later J.Smith 4621 racing 7.0
