Dream job (almost) and a question...

Yeah, I know you can turn up the fuel on these things, I watched Russ do it on mine. I was talking about increasing fuel preasure, not amount. I was saying that I dont think these pump have an adjustment for the fuel preasure (Dont know if that would effect performance, but I would think more preasure would be better for power).

Oh, ok, gotcha!

You might try changing the IP timing. I'm sure you will notice some difference there. Maybe even test if any fuel additives improve power.

Actually I was told some years ago, and I forget by who, but it was somebody who supposedly had inside knowledge of how IH did things, the factory IP is timed on the test dyno each engine ran on before it shipped to Ford. They had some kind of aparatus that would allow the IP mounting nuts to remain loose, and the pump could be rotated back and forth by robotic means, as the engine spun away at 3300 RPM. They didn't use a timing device to set the timing. So if you could duplicate that effort, sure you could dyno tune an IDI.
