Both is the simple answer... But there alot of knowledge on this site and searching through the threads where I moved your post to will be a big help.

Heres a couple good ones to start...

Turning the star wheel doesn't increase fuel, it increases fuel at earlier RPMs by turning it forward. Turn about 5 clicks at a time until you find what suits you best. Sliding your stock plate forward will make a bit more power, but tons of heat. When you slide your plate, be sure to your AFC housing is slid full forward when you put it back on. That will bring on the boost earlier in the RPM range. The starts of bombing is a slippery and pricey slope!
