careful turning up the IP. Get it to hot and you can melt holes in the pistons. I suggest installing a pyrometer to keep an eye on the EGTs. Things start to go sour around 1250*f

nah only need your thermocouple on one side. You probly wont notice 1/8 of a turn. Mines turned up about 1 flat which is 1/6 of a turn. If you turn it in thats turning it up, turning it out turns it down. Standard right hand threads.

Most drill and tap a hole in the exhaust manifold collector on the drivers side for the pyro ... #8 supposedly gets the hottest.
There is no adjusting hydraulic clutches, thats one of the points of them.

Some ford trucks have threaded rods on the master cylinder with a locknut. You take it loose from the clutch arm and turn it out for more free play.
