    280 on 2.4 plate

    Can I run a 280 on a 2.4 one piece plate or a 260 plate?

    the dump holes are a more favorable size on the 2.4 plates. Lots of guys close up the holes in the 2.5 plates and re drill to the 2.4 size. Lots of info here in the archives if you do a quick search...

    You can, but it will choke the exhaust off as the 2.4 exhaust ports are smaller than the 280 exhaust ports... i would get at least a 260 or better yet a 280 plate/tuner...
