Errr white smoke isn't good.... What's your timing at? With those injectors it should be a smokey hot pig. Marine pistons?

Well as far as ive been told shes at stock timing.. its not tremendous amount of white smoke but def a puff. And thats what i thought with marines being the dirtiest inj you can get out there but i figured maybe its bc she is gettin a lot of air with nit so much fuel its gettin jessuped soon antways he can hook me up like a tow truck

Is your transfer pump pressure good? Are your rpm at idle normal or low also? you may be starving the injector pump. or have a leak that is letting air in the fuel system. if you have another vehicle to drive you can take or send your injectors to a shop that can test and flow match them or provide another set if some are bad. mast shops that do it will test for pop and pattern for free. and an injector install kit is around $35. hope its not too bad. having a similar problem myself waiting for new transfer pump.

Sounds to me like you have a clogged line or bad lift pump. Or bad OFV.

I am running a super HX40/35 hybrid, Ported head/manifold/intake, 19* timing, back cut valves... basically things to make a DECENT amount of air flow... 45-50 lbs of boost depending on temperature.


I still can dump pure black smoke on my stock 1994 160hp pump injectors. Though I am running a 2095 mack plug... but still. 370s will just fog out a highway with no problem...
