If you can build a compound set-up then surely you can tune your pump for more fuel! 
Haha yes, just havent been to worried about it since I needed a few kms on the new engine before I was going start pushing it.
So Im going to either get giles to build my pump or Im going to try and rotate the throttle arm? thing. My fuel screw is already in as far as it will go without the idle being to rediculously high (1050-1100)
My throttle arm is rotated back I think 3 notches already and will need multiple more once I get around to tuning my pump.
Before you pull the last arm off, make a good mark with a knife or something where your arm is set. I would do 1 or 2 notches at a time and start the car/get it idling properly before getting all the springs back on. Remember as well that rotating the arm back means you can back out the full throttle stop screw on the front of the pump too!
Your pump is an AAZ, right? It's a real PITA to get the springs on and off. Set aside hours to get it done. You'll use them all. Take lots of pictures before you pull it apart; it'll save you lots of time staring and scratching your head at how the arms go back on. I don't even have all the springs on my pump anymore.
Yes it is an AAZ pump, Ill maybe try this tomorrow and see how it goes. On a side note I do have the LDA line disconnected so that might have a bit of a part in the lack of fuel?

Buh.. with my stock AAZ fuel pin, I figure having the LDA connected or disconnected makes about 50*F difference. It doesn't seem to add a significant amount of fuel

AAZ LDAs really are a JOKE then..

Yes, I think so. I'd like to know what's different internally with them. Once I get my custom LDA pin installed, it'll use the maximum amount that pin can possibly move, so I'll be able to see much better how much it can do. The next step after that would be to take the pump apart and see if I can change the leverage of the boost pin against the actual fuel delivery arm or whatever it's called inside there
There's a reason the AAZ LDA pin is called a "joke" pin... the "joke" is that there's not really any taper on it whatsoever!! It's practically pointless really. The 1.6 LDA pin / spring is a fantastic upgrade for an AAZ pump.
Just do the gov mod to start, it's really not hard nor is it going to do anything to hurt your engine. Giles is definitely the best bet if you can go that route, but for less than an hour's work you can find out a whole lot about what your engine really can do. Really though unless you go for someone like Giles you'll never have a pump that can actually use your compound setup.
A small update with a small problem after being away for a while.
During my trip home last night from work crusing at about 75, I decided to turn my highbeams on, then boom, Tach and Speedo both go to zero. I pull over to the side of the road turn the car off and turned it back on and noticed the idiot light in the cluster isnt blinking with the key in the on position.
Checked the fueses, all good, made sure the wire from the starter the alternator and the W term and good. I know the circut that runs the tach and oil light are tied together so is there a relay to check? But that doesnt explain why the speedo doesnt work...
Any ideas??
Ignition switch, maybe. Lots of weird symptoms when they go bad. Try jiggling the key.
Im thinking its just the cluster decided to die, everything works except the tach and speedo. All the back lights work.
The clock works but I cant change the time, also just found out the trip meter doesnt work..
