2004 5.9 wont smoke! help me
Ha know how much you guys love them threads Just kidding ! I have a 2004 5.9 that im seeking to get 650 hp out of. Heres the upgrades I have already put into it. TST power maxx chip, Torque converter lock up switch and a suncoast tranny. and also an airbox out of a totaled twin turbo'd truck modded to fit mine ( with the stock airbox i was dumpin crazy smoke and could watch my fuel gauge go down )...no good. With this I am getting 536 hp and 1067 ftlb tor. on the dyno but i want more . i was thinking a twin turbo but that can get a bit pricy. anything else i can do to get a little more hp without clearin my wallet to nothin? injectors maybe? Something that i can get hp without jumping my torque so damn high that stuff starts breaking. also with the tuner hp and tor all the way up it smokes like a nuthead, any way to stop that? my local shop told me he could turn the rail pressure down a bit and that should help but ill lose some power. ??

im running stock turbo now but theres a boost fooler in the tst chip. i talked to the creator of tst and he said theres no need for a new turbo with his chip because of the fooler. i can run 55 lbs of boost with the stock turbo but only for 5 seconds. when i run the 1/4 mile i can't hold it to the floor the whole track i gotta let off to avoid blowing my turbo

Sounds like you need a turbo in a bad kind of way. If not for the efficiency but for the peace of mind if you're worrying about over spinning your turbo. Best way to clear up smoke is to add more air for a cleaner burn; or just turn down the fuel until you have the air to burn the fuel. I wouldn't lower rail pressure... Poor atomization bc of low pressure could cause more smoke/heat than before.

Larger Charger, Head Studs if you don't have them, Injectors and EFIlive and you'll get above 650 HP, theres already been a 5.9 Common Rail tuned to 500 HP with EFIlive and the only mod was a lift pump. Stock air filter, exhaust everything, just a lift pump upgrade. EFI live is crazy.
