Because i tend to leap and not look... i gave it another turn without confirmation if the screw can ''back out'' .. it did seem to drop my STFT a bit more.
then today i received the following : (posting for posterity)
TDLR, the screw CANNOT ''back out'' of the mechanism, and they tune the pumps output low so there is another 50psi to be had (likely for longevity)

Hi Topher,
As you turn the screw clockwise it will bottom out and stop after 3-4 turns. The pumps generally have another 50 psi that can be cranked out of them.

Quick question, does the adjustment screw on the top of the pump have a limit. IE if I keep turning it CLOCKWISE to try to increase pressure will it eventually stop turning? Or will the screw ''back-out'' of what it is screwed into and need to be disassembled to be fixed?
Context : I have been noticing a lack of cooling with a 375ml nozzle and a 440ml nozzle, and my STFT has been only dropping to .91-.95 with 100% meth and the stage-1 pump. i turned the screw 1 full turn and saw a gain of .05 down to .86 STFT in the logs and want to give it another full turn but want to ensure I wont back the screw out of what it is adjusting.
