Boost Actuator adjustment

Can anybody tell me how to adjust the Boost Actuator to get more boost on a 2001 Lightning? I can't find a book on the truck yet.

Boost Actuator adjustment

There's two bolts holding the actuator. Its located close to the firewall on the driver's side intake. Mark a reference of where things are before making any changes so you can always adjust things back. Back off the two bolts holding down the actuator and you'll see a lever raise off the stop. Lower the lever it until it barely touches the stop. Tighten the bolts. Note that I do not have a Lightning. This procedure was recommended by a friend who works at a speed shop and validated through info on the Usenet.
