Unhappy Another dumb question?

Well it's been said there is no such thing as a dumb question but I must be the exception according to lack of responses on my last one.
Well here goes. On the back of the AFC housing there are two screws holding a cover over what I assume is an adjustment screw of some sort. What exactly does this screw adjust and is it safe to play with?
Thanks for any help and smoke em if you can.

Thanks for the help but I just got the answer I need by searching different areas. Found it under a question about pump adjustments.

Pretty simple question if you already know the answer. I'll add some comments for the others that haven't learned the answer.

Back side of the AFC housing is a cover for the infamous boost screw. This allows (somewhat) more fueling without turbo boost by turning it in. Loosening the AFC mounting screws and sliding it forward will provide a lot more pre-boost fueling than the screw.
Star wheel position plays a big part in the fueling AFTER boost starts. Hence the turn your starwheel forward or AFC spring install threads.

You're lucky to find answers in a search thread. I usually do not.
