Ok,
Since I put my turbo on I turned up the fuel about two flats.
When I get on the pedal the EGT's climb like a bat out of hell. I get no black smoke or any other sign of "running rich." I am wondering if I should turn the the screw up or down?
In my head I think of it two ways......which is closer to reality?
1. Turn down the screw and have more usable throttle before the EGT's get out of control.
2. Turn up the fuel and get the needed power before the EGT's climb too far.
Not trying to be stupid or anything I just havent toyed much with the setting since I first adjusted it....

Ok Just went out and drove it.......seems I was remembering more about when I was towing......Thing drives like a dream. Floored it (I never push this thing hard except for towing which is rare for me) from a stand still and got right up to 950F and 5psi of boost on a flat Kansas road.

You had better get some good gauges for the EGT, at least, dakota. You are getting into piston melting territory when messing with the IP timing.
