NO! You should really be doing the shimming with a Fuel Pressure gauge and not guessing at what it feels like.

Well, he might not be changing the pressure at all....reason for the gauge...

But you should notice...quieter idle and an increase in throttle response....but without the gauge, you can increase it TOO much.....

I had it in my truck before the TW and after the TW I took it out for a few days and noticed the the idle while set on extreme was a little more choppy but thats about it, no more or less smoke or throttle response.

I don't know if there is shimming on the SD with electric fuel pump. The OBS has a two stage mechanical pump but shimming is done on the fuel bowl.

For the SD I would suggest getting a regulated return and then you can easily fine tune your fuel pressure.
