380 K-Plates on Flame
I currently have 280 K-Planes and have ordered 380 K-Plates to switch out.
I sent a couple PMs out asking those whom I had thought made this change but have had no brotherly help.
We have a brand new Flame here in town here that has the 380s vs my 280s and when we're running 90 it is much more stable than mine. Mine tends to start rolling side to side pretty hard 
He runs his tabs at just a tad below neutral when running hard. Says it actually gains speed when he brings them down to that level when running 
Tres had Nordic set this boat up with props turning in and the 380s. He ran them out and saw no difference so it must be the long tabs.
I was wondering if anyone else has made this switch and what the results were. I need to get this dialed in before dropping off our 5000 foot plateu and risking bodily harm
Thanks for any input,
Dave

Linnie,
I machined and painted them yesterday and am installing today. Probably won't be able to try them until next weekend due to weather.
They look cool!
BTW, your phone acidentally called me twice last Friday at midnight and left me two backround noise messages. Sounds like you were having fun; it was 2 a.m. for you

It did it until 5 in the morning with numerous people. Sorry for the inconvenience. It was just sitting in the garage on the back of my boat. Very weird, but has not done it again. Anyway, sorry.

Hey Advantage,
It runs up to 88-90 GPS very, very quickly and then starts getting loose and rolling side to side which is why I am swapping tab plates.
All of my testing has been at 5000 feet so I'm trying to get everything dialed in before dropping to the sea level arena where I should be able to run it up to the triple diget mark pretty easy.
Dave
