Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Plate vs Starwheel vs AFC Housing

[SmokinU]

Hey Fellows,



About 5 months ago, I had my truck turned up, and has been running awesome. This past weekend, I installed a set of gauges. So I figured, what the heck, move the factory plate full forward, move the afc housing full forward, and adjust the starwheel. Well, after I did all that, the truck seemed to be low on power (but smoked pretty good). Turbo was still boosting, but felt like the truck lost some life. What I am wondering is if a good combination exists between the fuel plate, starwheel, and afc housing? Anybody have any good combinations where they felt performance gains. I just assumed that full forward with everything delivered the most power. Am I missing something here?

You are correct. May be a problem like overfllow valve or lift pump not delivering enough fuel pressure and volume. Whoever turned up your pump should be willing to help you without gouging you.

Thanks for the reply Joe,





The overflow valve was replaced when the truck got turned up. The guy that turned it up also said that the lift pump might be a little week, so I guess I will have to check the fuel pressure. The guy that worked on my truck also adjusted the governor lever. When I removed the afc housing, I noted that the governor lever was hitting the recessed part of the plate, so it looks like the lever is not riding up the plate, but rather heading straight for the recessed part of it. I guess that’s a good thing?
