You could experiment. Then you'll know your options.
Adding fuel adds boost because combustion gasses have more volume than air. That spins the turbine faster. As boost goes up the air getting compressed gets hotter, expanding even more, and while there may be more air the charge density is less. You will get to a point where compressor efficiency drops off. That will heat the air even more. Hot boost is bad. You might not be able to get there with a C.
There will be a point [somewhere] where adding more fuel will just make more smoke.
I don't plan to get too greedy. The LDS is supposed to have a bigger turbo, waste gate and stronger pistons. Perhaps a bigger radiator(?). All that and still no intercooler. I'll be very happy if I can get half way there (~150HP)
I reduced fuel 1/2 turn. Will testdrive and adjust as needed in a few hours.Towing stolly to Cobleskill. JimK
