According to SCT at WOT the Plates are always open so removing them doesn't affect low speed torque

They say that the IMRC are made to control 'swirl'

I think they will be on my list of mods.

The Steeda instructions say that once you remove the stock plates, they cannot be re-installed.

I have removed the steeda plates a few times and re-installed the factory ones and they work fine. I think the main reason they say this is because you do need to pay attention and make sure that they are lined up with the ports. There is a little adjustment... Just an FYI.

Brent is correct. The Ford stock plates can be re-installed. I know.

If anyone is interested I have a set of Steeda Charge Motion Delete Plates that are FOR SALE!!! PM me if you are interested in buying them. Last I checked Steeda had them listed for $319.95. I had them on my car for approx 750 miles. They work fine and are in perfect shape. Several members have them and they do make power. Note: You will need a CUSTOM TUNE from SCT or Diablo.

Not quite sure what they do, but I've got a '97 f150 with a 4.2L V6 that blew a head gasket. While I was tearing it down I noticed two vacuum actuated solenoids on the rear of the intake manifold. On the inside of the intake there were six butterflys. I decided that they couldn't possibly do anything(since I had never seen them on anything else), so I removed them and filled the holes where the shaft passed through the intake. When I put the engine back together and took it for a test drive I quickly noticed that I had a considerable loss in low-end torque. On the upside, after about 3,000 rpms it woke up like two-stroke dirtbike. Since it's not an apples to apples comparison I can't say that it's a bad idea, but I didn't like the results on my truck.

5.0 Mag tech article recently said that without a tune you will lose around 20hp. But on their dyno with a tune they found an approx. 10 rwhp increase with the plates.
