It is really a recessed knob unit (potentiometer?) that can be turned with a flat head screwdriver. The unit plugs into the PGM-FI system via a wire harness. So I guess it's not really a screw- Honda just calls it that in the shop manual. Vance's 300 whp was from a stock 3.2 with headers and exhaust. That's the highest number I've ever seen and while I do believe it, I think it is rare. Most 3.0 engines dyno between 250 and 270 at the wheels with H/E. 3.2 typically does 270 to 290. The NSX engine was blueprinted from the factory, but even so, variances of 20 hp or more have been seen between engines.The more I work on and study the C30A engine, the more impressed I am with Honda's engineering. In it's time it really was one of the finest engines in the world.
