UPDATE: I must say that I'm a big time newb and I did this pretty easily. I tweaked the [what was once virgin til now] ALDA 1.5 turns CCW. There were 2 things I was expecting and I'll say that I got 1 and 1/2.

1). It got faster (Big surprise) It's not as quick as the gasser, but a step closer to one. My head felt strange when I took it out for a drive and floored it.

2). It didn't smoke so much (I was kind of expecting a lot of smoke to be pouring out like a sooty truck). I press on the pedal for 1 second and it makes some smoke vs before the TWEAKING I didn't have much smoke at all.

I personally want to adjust it even more! But I don't want to force the screw or even stretch it to the limit so I'm leaving it at 1.5 CCW. I'm not sure about the shim thing either so I'll have to get back to that sometime later....for the meantime, the car is that I don't have to floor it to get up to speed with cars passing me.

Next on my DIY is the fan clutch upgrade so I hope fellow members can give me some tips. I saw the DIY on the R&R of the fan clutch so I'm refering to that. I'm still lost on the locking tool mechanism and the 8mm Hex socket.

I also have a purge that I'd like to do today and an oil change at 185k.
