I can say that imo it helped with the spool up. I know that this he extra fuel did most of it but I never spoiled like it does now

The few times I've messed with that power screw, I've had to readjust my idle everytime.
Just a couple of months ago, I backed that power screw 1.5 turns, and my idle went from 775 down to around 600. Thought the truck was going to crap out and die at an intersection. Had to keep fluttering on the pedal so I wouldn't stall.

Yes the extra fuel really wakes up these engines.

The idle stop screw is on top of the pump conveniently located between the head and the AFC. once you get the lock nut loose You can turn it with a curved dentist pick. At least that works for me.

Conveniently. Yea right. It when u idle down does that give u more room to turn up fuel. I only got one full turn. 1 1/2 turns got me to runaway. So I backed it out a half turn

When they run away the only way to shut them down is with a board over the open front of the turbo.

Here is a bunch of good info.
