fuel increase

I own a 1986 f-350 4*4 6.9litre truck. All is well with vehicle. I have been reviewing other members request for more power from the 6.9. My truck has the banks small turbo set-up. If I increase the fuel input to the engine will there be any change in overall power from the 6.9? I understand these engines are limited to what they can provide. Also, how do I gauge the fuel adjustment (increase) to the injector pump? Or, should I relax and let the engine remain as is? Thanks for any input provided. osos57

Turn your pump up 1.5-2 flats and you'll be able to tell a difference. It's not gonna make it be able to burn up a dyno but you'll notice a definite difference in throttle response. But like the above post states, MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL A PYROMETER BEFORE YOU TURN YOUR PUMP UP! These IDI's can get real hot real quick.

To the OP:

Do yourself a favor, delete your personal e-mail out of the thread, or change it to something like freddy (at) gmail (dot) com , so that we know what it would be, but it can't be copied directly.

This website is visible to the entire world, and shady people scan web pages like this for random email adresses.
Chances are, if you leave it up, you will eventually start getting a bunch of spam email.
