x2 on the dowel pin. You wont be happy if it decides to exit the block via your timing cover.

All it does is add low boost fueling... Hence the name "smoke" screw. It has nothing to do with adding over all useful power. Just smoke and egts climb sooner and faster. Kind of the opposite of what u want when your towing.
