Default How do I get rid of the smoke?

Hey guys I did some recent upgrades and now I am getting more smoke than I want! I know that sounds weird but I dont wanna waste 4 dollar fuel. I added a DennyT stage 2 pin and a waste gated HX35 with the gate set at 26psi. The timing I believe was bumped when I first got the truck and I also spun the star wheel to the bottom when I installed the pin. I just want to be getting max power this combo can produce and not waste anything. Whats the next best step to tuning out that pesky smoke? Thanks, Randy

crank the star wheel back up.. that way it won't fuel as fast in the low end.

if its pre or low boost smoke, then yes, turn up the star wheel and turn out the smoke screw. Both a little at a time until smoke is manageable or power is lost. If the smoke is at boost, turn in your full fuel screw or get a better turbo LOL
