plate and/or housing forward

Ok I'm new to this and I know that this stuff has been talked about forever but bare with me. I read about moving the AFC housing forward and I read about moving the Stock plate forward. Do you do both or what.
Thanks
Ken

Yes you do want to do both.... after you have gauges in the truck. The AFC limits the fuel that the engine gets prior to boosting. After about 6psi of boost then the AFC arm moves forward and the governor arm is allowed to rest on the fuel plate (assuming you're at WFO). At that point the fuel plate is what is preventing the engine from fueling too much and the AFC is doing nothing.
