Default Afc spring kit?

what do the afc spring kits you can buy do?
there really cheap and they say there for the 215 pumps and trucks with the 16cm housing?
minimal smoke under acceleration and good response?
just didnt know if they are worth the 50$

if you have 1 of your old gov springs just use that. It works very well

its a stiffer spring than the stocker but also allowes full travel with out binding up.

In other words it will take more boost before the afc arm begins to move.

once the charger lights the foot will move out of the way, if you have it moded ( grinding the barrel and the washer flip). When you take the afc appart use the gov spring that is the same size as the afc spring.

Oh that does make sense. So in other words my truck is fueling way to much for the little amount of work being done?
