move your fuel plate full forward as well as the afc.crank the starwheel forward. but only if you have gauges. that will get her to smoke!!!!! p.s. this will destroy your clutch!!!!

AFC is to tight, needs to loosened all the way forward.

Unburned fuel is smoke, so concentrate on that. Dirty injectors, dirty filters,lift pump weak. Put a fuel gauge to it, that thing should be rollin some coal.

I don't see the problem.....you smoked your clutch and it seems the truck is making power. You have an aftermarket turbo that will move more air and some bigger junk injectors....why the fascination with smoke? I guess you like wasting fuel. if the FP is good, the filter is clean, the sediment bolw screen is clean and your timing is right then you have a well tuned truck and should be happy.
