you can push the housing foward but the true way of afc tuning is with a tuning kit it has several different springs in it to get it just right

in for more fuel. liding the afc will give you more fuel and so will the starwheel.

I doubt he'll damage his transmission by tuning the AFC . Anyway, the cover plate hunter is talking about just gets rid of the AFC housing all together. Makes changing out plates easier, and dumps the max amount of pre-boost fuel if I'm not mistaken.

thats what it does ... but max pre boost fuel is useless it will just blow tons of smoke and go no where.

use the search function on here there was a good write up with pics done not too long ago

on a side note 94 12valve has to be one heck of a good name I think 3 others have it
