full power screw hahahhahah

Well after the housing, I wasn't super impressed. It made a little difference but not a whole bunch. So I decided it was time for the fuel power screw. That metal lock collar is irritating. I ended just removing the bad threads where the welds were. I cranked it in 2 turns. All I can say is wow!
That did the trick 23psi is nice. 1st gear is next to useless and it pulls like mad. Nice and smokey too. I need an LSD. I'm doing the governer spring tonight.

you think its nice now? wait for the gov. spring you'll really love it!!

you should try 27psi at 6000ft elev. that pulls pretty nice.

Before the gov spring all I could do was 85mph up hill and it took a little to get there, now I get to 90mph like nothin and can get to 95mph.

Yeah power does fall off, it defuels down to 17psi until it shifts especially third. The governer spring will make it an animal. I have to back the idle back down this evening.

When the idle comes up from the fuel screw, then turn the idle screw back.

i had my truck up to a 100 after the gov spring htt turbo, major pump mods (ground fuel, pin, maxed fuel screw) end result was a dead truck, that i still cant fix. it was fun while it lasted, sure surprise the neon that i blew the doors off.A lsd would have came in handy, i could do a one wheel burn out for days in 4th gear.
