Looks about the same as mine. Works just fine. Don't usually need to re-adjust the arm for a #10.

From what i can see , it looks okay. Right on the nose or maybe a hair higher. Just so it doesnt go under the plate. Watch your EGT gauge

Holy Crap!!! I can see my 30lb ISSPro Boost Gauge is basically worthless now.....

That's purely amazing! One question: With my ol' stocker plate slid forward and the AFC adjust in, the transition between off-boost and on-boost wasn't very noticable. Now when it get's to 1800 RPM it's just BAM!, redline on the tach and the boost gauge. Is there anything I can do to help the lowend out?

When I hear about sliding the plate full forward, from what I see on the pics, its the adjusment on the plate where the slots are where those 2 screws are going into? By the looks of it, that plate is full forward? Also, about the arm adjustment mentioned, is there a screw to adjust this or what. Thanks...

Yes, it's not quite all the way forward, but we're very, very close...

Yes, there's a cap on the end of your AFC housing, it faces your firewall that has a screw to adjust it. There's instructions here:

Not the rear of the AFC housing. It is on the governor housing, on the rear backend.

Guess why I have a 60, instead of a 30, now.

It is the profile of the plate. If you notice, the stocker has a nose in the middle. The 10 doesn't.

Is the AFC housing slid full forward also?

The ramp on the bottom of the profile on the 10 is limiting the fuel on the bottom end. Want more fuel on the bottom, take the stock plate, and turn it into a 0 plate.
