Instructions are in this link:

Fuel Pressure Regulator Shimming (under mods)

I shimmed mine and noticed a increase in power. Ford set the fuel pressure in the mid 50s psi on our trucks but International set the T444E (our engine) at the low 60s psi.

I have a fuel pressure gauge so I know where mine is running all the time. With the shim, I'm running 68 psi at idle and 64 psi at WOT. I noticed a huge difference right away.
