There is a jam nut on it you need a 13mm wrench for that. The scew has a slot in the end of it you turn with a flathead screw driver. It may still have the cover over it if it has never been messed with. Look in the sticky or youtube for more info. You don't want to just turn it as far as possible it won't help. Make sure you watch your pyro and tune your afc accordingly until you get a good tune where you feel good power but not a ton of smoke and EGT's through the roof.

buy a pryro gauge, any added fuel can let the truck run the EGT's up into the unsafe range, especially when towing a trailer
