Timing would be if you can do it yourself.

GSK can be had for free and will increast higher rpm before defueling..... also grinding a plate can make for upper fueling too.....

Well, if you're making 330 already, we have to assume the usual mods are already done. There are many ways...though a little technical, to get more fuel up top, but do you have the AIR for more fuel? Tell us a little detail on your present build and rest assured we'll tell you where to find some more power...it may not necessarily be from fuel, but there's more power there for sure even on mostly stock parts.

Timing will help with those egt's, since I know they are high. Are the 370's marine versions are are they aftermarkets with the correct spray pattern? If they're marine, be careful with too much timing as this will spray outside the bowl if timing is too high and actually hurt your performance. The real solution to more power for you isn't more fuel. Those 370's and no plate are bringing that turbo to it's knees if indeed it's still the stock one. If that is the case think about some air, you'll see better fuel burn, and more power. I know you've head the warnings about no plate operation. Heed them, and get some sort of throttle stop in there so your governor linkage doesn't come apart.

Im no expert here but grind your plate to a 100 or a 0 and throw it back in. Running without a plate isnt a good idea.
