Too much boost.

Ok well on a back on the way home tonight I let the truck unwind a little with the new clutch and injectors!

Well I glanced over at my Boost gauge and it was on 35PSI with just my new injectors and my #10 is sitting sitting in the garage.

I know that as soon as that plate goes in I'm going to be able to easily go past 35PSI because my foot wasn't even on the floor tonight!

One thing I've noticed while fooling with AFC settings is that if your AFC housing is back it will limit your boost correct? If so this is where I run into a problem as my rack stop is removed from my AFC housing for "smoke on demand"

My theory that I'm wondering about is that

If I just reinstall my rackstop where my AFC isn't "gutted" then I can move my AFC housing full back to help with some boost, but then if I crank my AFC spring full forward will I still be able to get my "smoke on demand" ?

Thoughts/suggestions/comments welcomed.

Edit still on factory HX35x12wg'd
