Default first post

This is my first post here thought id say hello. Have a 96 12v right now with a built driveline 0 fuel plate and gauges.

Now i know this topic has been covered many many times ( ive read alot here but just now decided to join ) but what adjustments can be made to get the most smoke possible? Right now i just want to have fun with the truck until funds allow me to get a bigger turbo and injectors.

Now i know the star wheel all the way forward along with the AFC. but what about the smoke screw, what relation does it have with actual smoke? Also any hints on getting the bolt off on top of the star wheel? I snapped an extension trying to get mine off with no avail.

Anyways nice to meet ya, plan on learning alot and helping where i can

you will make alot of people turn their noses asking how to get the most smoke out of your truck. smoke is not power and it absolutly shouldnt be your goal in building a nice truck. and you tune the whole AFC not just play with parts of it. the star wheel cap is a 7 or 8mm allen head.

My building of a nice truck will come in time with money, as of right now smoke shows is fun, yes you lose power, but why not have fun with your truck.

well than plug your air filter or take an intercooler boot off. lots and lots of black smoke and super cheap. you can yank the fuel plate but that wont make you blot out the sun. you could buy some full cut delivery valves. THAT will make you smoke. to smoke you cut out the air supply or over fuel the hell out if it. think twice for you melt something.
