you can go pretty far on the fuel screw see the sticky under performance. Check Runaway and Full power screw. I have a 89 w350 with the 727 and you definately want to do the 366 spring it will make it a whole different truck to drive. Also turn your fuel pin to the "deep" setting and you will be very happy. The spring costs around $16 and takes about 45 min but it is well worth it. The sticky explains it well but it sounds harder than it is.

I know you said you don't want to pull the pump apart but it will make a world of difference.

Good luck Ryan

The spring is not hard to do, just you need to be careful. Also adding power does NOT increase speed, just how you fast you get there.

The pin is as simple as 4 screws and 15 mins. Not hard at all.
