Hi
I am not too sure I would do that on his engine since he is driving in the
Rockies all the time. If his pump was set up according to spec then it is
already probably running too rich when he is crossing those passes. If I
did richen it up further I would add an EGT gauge as cheap insurance.

I would make sure they take the injector pump apart and open it up 1/4 turn
..
but do this at your own risk it sure adds power to the engine.
