not much. the AFC housing is slotted where the bolts go, so it has a few mm of adjustability.

no bud u know the 4 bolts that u loosen to take the afc itself off to get to the fuel plate? well loosen the bolts dont take them out this time and move ur afc ull see it goes back and forth itself. move it towards the radiator or ff and tighten it down. remember ff dont mean full hp so if u know how to tune ur good. but ull see much more smoke and a little more power if u slide the afc itself all the way forward which all the way forward is about half inch

you've gotten less power and smoke with it out? mine was like another machine when i took it and and it actually smoked which used to be impossible to do but you also got your smoke screw in i haven't touched any of that stuff yet i haven't been able to take a night and just sit down and tune it all i need to though
