ebay my friend. to bad you didn't post this a day or two ago... I was tuning my AFC and couldn't find my old stock plate so I grinded my 5 to a 0. I would have been happy to have sent it your way.

its just a matter of sliding the plate where you want it and adjusting the the spring for pre boost. Their might be more, in fact I'm sure their is because I have a lag between 45-60 but it pulls hard everywhere else.

The AFC is controlled by the AFC Spring. The spring can be changed with a performance one, although it doesn't do much IMO. You can tune the AFC itself with the star wheel, located under an allen plug. Should be an 8mm wrench to loosen it, and they are TIGHT from the factory. If you have a socket in 8mm allen, I'd use that. I snapped a standard hex wrench on it before. Loosen is towards the block IIRC, that'll fuel harder down low. Basically, the looser the starwheel, the lower boost the fuel comes on.

you take it off and flip the washers around in the back where the diaphram is,then you take the barrel out and gring .090" off it,then hook an air line to it where the boost line goes and adjust it with the star wheel to where the foot is all the way foreward at whatever psi you want it to max out at.
