so my truck runs strong up till around 60 then doesnt give much after that. i can go wot and it just doesnt jump like i feel it sould. i am used to my old 2001 and it would go from 65 to 105 in a blink of an eye. so my question is what else do i need to get more out of the top end? will pushing the plate full forward and getting a set of 191 dv's help this?

its a 12valve with a few performance adders

yea i have 3000gsk if i push the plate full forward will that help much? i also dont want a smokey mess either, im thinking about some 5x.012's. what pump mod causes most the smoke? i want to be as smokless as possible. ive know that the smoke is controlled 99% by the driver but we all know that these trucks smoke. oh and what the difference between 191dv's and other size dvs and what do they do? sorry for all the questions.

do you have 370 injectors?

Slide the plate and tune the AFC....that will control the smoke down low and the the plate FF will give the rack more travel for your upper R's fueling you need.

thats exactly what i was looking for! im going to put a set of 215 pump injectors in and do some grinding on the plate. so how do i tune the afc? and does anything need to be done with the star wheel?

I know there is a nice article about tuning the afc somewhere, I looked but can't find it. I know Duster can find it, he's good at that stuff. I did injectors first, made a difference, added in DV's later and it made a noticeable difference. My truck can be smokey as you want it, or you can drive it normally and not see any smoke at all. its up to you. I think its hard to do all these mods and not have any smoke whether you want it or not.

Not if the AFC is tuned in right. I am going to do an AFC tuning thread between Christmas and New Years with pics and all.....if you cant wait do a search and you'll get TONS of hits.

if u put dv's in ull def have smoke

so i think im going to wait for the write up for the afc tuning. but i am going to see what i can do about sliding the plate. and another thing is i only build 16-24psi. im guessing here but doesnt that seem a little low?

i am running stock everything but exhaust and i tokk the plate out and even with a slippin clutch mine will straight fly from 60 to 100. cant wait to put the clutch disc in that i got from fastcr( thanks man) and see what it does from there. oh and the starwheel is ff.

man i hate buying trucks that someone else tuned! the thing is great down low but ugh i just dont like the 60-85mph response. im just gong to get a good exploded pic of the pump and mess with everything till it seems to be how i want it. ive been doing a lot of search's and think i have enough knowledge to get it tuned enough for my liking.i will keep you guys informed with the outcome!
