camplates have their curve after engeneering for a engine specific, a camplate with more lift give perfomance when you have it with stock (or the same) settings. but the egt's will be higher becouse you give more feul.
It all make sense when you can put a camplate in your engine wich makes better efficiency, or maybe when you go for a high reving engine a camplate with more efficiency on higher rpm.
i think this is lots of engeneering and most guys on this board dont have the tools etc to measure this out.
For that reason i agree with fatmobile, if you need more feul, go for a bigger plunger, you even can go for a 10mm wich supply +150whp on a idi.
Farmobile i like to know more about the plungersprings, those are used so the plunger dont bend, higher load is possible, only when its to much the camplate will go stuck on the rollers from to much load...
but for high rev engine's it should be better to use springs with more load, i also know some guys who use them. Another thing why you need those springs is the camplate do fly at higher rpm's, so you cant get all the power you wanted.
There are also difrent styles of plungers, i like to know more about.
i'm also still busy to make more dynamic timing advance, i hope to post soon more about this.
We know allready much trough years about those damn diesels, but we need to know so much more
