There's a cover on the side of the injection pump, remove it, then turn the screw about a half a turn or until you achieve the amount of power you want.

There isn't much you can do to improve airflow, other than adding a turbo charger.

I tried to turn up the pump on my truck last night and I didnt have enough clearance to get the srews out on the side of the pump. Does anybody have any tricks to doing that or is it necessary to remove the intake manifold. (I have an egr intake)
