Mark the boss and flange on the pump. It may require cleaning well with some brake cleaner or Carb Clean or(?)
Back the retaining nuts off so that the pump will rotate. Rotate the pump advanced as much as 5° (NO MORE) and secure the nuts.
This will increase the sensation of power, and MIGHT have an actual effect of increasing by as much as 5 - 7 HP, but that is all, and MAY cause a bit of hard starting.
To really increase the power and torque, remove the pump and injectors, take them all to a pump shop and ask that the injectors be "popped" and if necessary cleaned or replaced.
Ask that the fuel be advanced while they are "rebuilding" the pump.
