Set Up Plate Wide 5

The ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE Set Up Plate Wide 5 is a precision aluminum alignment tool engineered for serious drag racing and high-performance engine builders. This plate serves as an essential fixture during engine assembly and wheel alignment setup, allowing technicians to verify critical geometric relationships before final installation. Whether you're building a dedicated strip car or dialing in a competition powerplant, this setup plate eliminates guesswork and ensures repeatable accuracy across multiple builds or adjustments.

Constructed from lightweight yet rigid aluminum, the Set Up Plate Wide 5 measures 28.25 inches long with a 0.5-inch thickness and 12.25-inch width, providing ample surface area for comprehensive setup verification. The "Wide 5" designation references compatibility with wide 5-bolt wheel patterns—the dominant fastener standard in vintage and modern drag racing applications. At 13.5 pounds, the plate remains manageable for single-technician handling while maintaining the structural integrity necessary to support engine blocks and chassis components during precise measurement and alignment checks.

Professional engine builders, chassis shops, and dedicated racers rely on this setup plate to validate mounting surfaces, verify centerline accuracy, and confirm bolt hole alignment before committing parts to permanent installation. The plate's extensive length makes it ideal for front-end geometry work, including spindle clearance verification and brake-line routing confirmation. Installation is straightforward—simply position the plate against reference surfaces and use it as a spatial guide during assembly; no bolting or modification is required. This tool pays for itself on the first complex build by preventing costly misalignment errors and rework.
