Demon: Would you care to extrapolate on what exactly "properly prepare the plate" means?

If you look at my first post I asked if anyone knew of a "method" to calculate the correct t-body size. No one has posted (here) such methodology, although in days past a NECO member from Leo Capaldis Race Crew posted a partial mathematical calculation based on the ideal air velocity at WOT.

It still seems to me that Duratecs are using undersized t-bodies that Ford probably found in the corporate parts bin when someone said "That will fit, we can save .02, it should be OK, so let's use it."
