It all depends on what your pyro says, if you don't go over 1200* your engine will be fine. Maxing out the screw out will result in excess black smoke. There is no reason to max out a IP screw though unless you are boosting really high intercooled or something. Do you have a turbo??

Is it the factory Ford turbo made by ATS....or the aftermarket ATS kit?
If it's aftermarket, then I believe somebody should have the fuel screw turned up a bit already, to match the amount of air coming from the turbo.
And I remember form another thread you said you have put your EGT gauge on 1400 a couple times....
Where is your pyro probe located? In the exhaust manifold, in the up-pipe before the turbo, after the turbo?
From my reading, the general rule of thumb is to add 300 degrees to the reading if your pyro is located after the turbo, that will give you cylinder temperature, or at least close to it...

Awesome 
And you still get EGT's that high?
What's an average EGT for you driving normally?
That smashed downpipe is killing you man. Try to find an upgraded 3" unit or try to modify a Stroke downpipe to fit...

Allen wrenches are hexagonal -> 6 sided.
1 flat = 1/6 turn = 60°
1/4 turn = 90*° and would be called 1/4 turn, not one flat.
At least thats my interpretation as a math teacher....
