This was a 400hp Plate system and I was trying to run it below the
advertised numbers.... I think our first hits were in the 100hp range....
so since the system was designed for So much more... the plate wasn't
optimized at those levels.... Keep in mind I didn't have Problems .... but
I also didn't have a system that was optimized....
