cover ur air filter 3/4 of the way with a plastic bag and tape it on it will increase ur boost due to the fact the smaller area causes the air to flow faster

Use the search feature on the forum and type in ( smoke ). I'm surprised mine doesn't smoke more. Only when I first nail it from a cruise rpm when the converter is locked or from a dead stop. Others will chime in. If you do the afc mods - use the search feature again or just google " afc free mods" it will all be explained. My truck was slower when it smoked more being that it had mostly stock fuel system/pump except for free mods and the govenor spring kit. Too much smoke on stock truck = bad

Wanting smoke is bad. If that's all your wanting is smoke, just dump tons of fuel and no air

Try turning your star wheel in the pump, it's real easy and it's free and I should give you the smoke your looking for (:

star wheel is free and easy. not over kill smoke that will run up egts but on a stock truck the star wheel will give you a little smoke and wake up the truck without damaging anything
