Ran mine ALOT higher then that but ya need to do more then just twist the screw. Now the down side to twisten the screw is if ya ain't realy up on that engine and now today with parts hard to come by and the price of them best not to go over 10% . And listen to what i tell ya never go to the field with out gas in the starting tank , never stall her and no be able to get it restarted FAST as this can cause the head to crack or the block . Never ever get the bright idea to MIX up a batch of super fuel to get more pony power like my buddy did on his Nitro makes real nice ROUND holes in pistons and makes all these cobweb things in the head. We ran 450 D's for awhile and worked the snot out of them . Always let the tractor warm up for awhile before putting it to work and always let it cool way down before shut down . Some guys will tell ya to switch back to gas before shut down but many many years ago and old I H mechanic told me that if ya switch back to the gas side and let it run on gas instead of cooling down the combustion chambers get hotter . I and may buddy always shut down after cool down and what i mean by that when we were working them and the temp was up on the runwe would set them at around 800-900 RPM and let them cool down till the temp gauge said COLD then shut them down . My old 450 is still running not far from my place and i have tryed many times to buy it back but the guy will not sell or trade as i even offered him a 706 diesel in trade.
