I too have 3 - 3/4" intakes with 1 ball valve and also a 2" x 6" exhaust, mine runs at 275 with just the one ball valve open. It's always hot here in South Alabama and it stays right there at 275. If I open all the intakes she gets up over 325.

Finding the 'right' answer is going to drive you crazy. I researched a great deal before I finally just said the hell with it and did what I felt was right for my needs. I thought I needed a diffuser plate so I put a shelf with a holed pizza pan about 2" above my basket. I really didn't like it...
