New 12 valve light on power
I just bought my new truck off a guy in corsicana. Its got the big 215 pump in it with 191s and no fuel plate and the afc is turned up. When i drive the truck is smokes like a mobile forrest fire but it is really slow, through every gear it just bogs out no matter how high of rpms you get it to in the gear before. im gona put a # 6 plate in it today and turn the star wheel down today, but what else can i do to make it faster. I was thinking a turbo or maby bumping up the timing but not for sure thanks.

With all the mods you report on that truck, I'd have to say that it is probably set up to pull hard at WOT, but it will probably suck everywhere else in the rpm range.
I'd dial it back a bit and see if you can clean it up. Will probably drive better across the board, then add back in power mods so that they work together. More to this diesel stuff than just dumping fuel into the motor. Like all engines, it needs to be the right amount, at the right time, and under the right circumstances to make power instead of just excess fuel smoke.
One other thought -- how good is the transmission holding the power? Any indication that you are slipping?
