So I tried to turn the fuel up, and was not able to get the screw to turn. I know it is hard to turn, but it would not budge. I could feel the allen wrench flexing and was afraid to break it. Any suggestions?

If it was bottomed out already that is bad........ try rolling it back a flat or two see if it moves that way.

I just can't believe that it is bottomed out. It does not smoke at all and my egt's are around 400 while cruising at 55 and If I really try, I can get them up to 800, which was going about 75, turning around 3000 rpm. Does this sound about right?

I think these questions have already been answered?

IIRC, Your Pyro is Post Turbo?

You've been advised that 950 Is max in that location.

Running on flat ground, Your reading is normal. Why would You want it to overheat with a load up hill?
