If you have an auto, not much more or you'll blow it.
Gauges will be the next step.

Fill up your signature so we can see what you have.

Grind your stock plate into a 100 or 0 or 10, or whatever you like. You can do the washer GSK, or buy a real one ($100). Find someone local who will time it for you. If its not a shop, you could probably get it done for a case of beer.

Don't just turn the star wheel. Adjust it correctly; plate position, Star wheel, and smoke screw. Search for pump adjustment or pump mods. There is a good article out there to tell u how.
