AFC Live
Is there any disadvantage to the AFC Live with guage?
For someone that has never went thru the tunning process on a 12 valve for max power/traction/drivability it seems like a real time saver.
Also to be able to tame the truck in the rain or snow. This truck won't tow so no benefits there.
I have done searches and read many posts and watched all of Todds videos.
All I can gather is: Why in the world doesn't every mechanical truck have one of these regardless of power level
The only thing I would like is a kit to be able to mount it the way I want without the box.

Works good if you use the max travel afc kits .. it's only as good as the afc setup spring wise you install

I figured I would buy PDD spring kit.
This would be after / in conjunction with sending the pump to Seth to get worked over. 180 pump

I got it along with the afc max travel spring..
Since I'm under 30psi of boost 95% of the time, to get anything i have to have the box almost in the lowest settings... IMO the 5/32 line are too small should be 1/4".
Since I have pulled the box off I have ran 1/4" air line from intake to AFC and the truck responded better..

I have similar issue. My AFC LIVE is just barely cracked open. I think I need to put a stiffer AFC spring in it to stop it from overfueling so much.

Having the same issue, swapped in the 40# spring helped but still not enough, i can clean it up on top but not in the midrange.

Full forward as a limiter or take it out, their instructions say take the plate out.
