Default A little more smoke?

So I bought a smarty everyone told me it would smoke a lot...it dont I put a holley electric fuel pump on it today with another 15 psi of fuel pressure figured maybe it would leak a little extra into the cylinders when the injectors open, but.....No, the only smoke I have is a puff at start up and maybe just a teenie tiny puff you can barely see when you get on it...I have had the smarty on all the settings from 0 to 9 just little bity puffs....How do you get these things to smoke.....I am NOT making a smoke switch, and I am NOT putting a shirt or a bag over my air filter....Just would like to see a little more smoke out of it.....its really hard to pick up ***** in a diesel that just dont smoke

So much to learn young grasshopper...for instance, if you say pu$$y, it should be in the garlands, and if you say, I don't care about power I just want smoke, you should put a bag over your air filter. When the smarty changes levels 0-9 do you notice a difference in performance?

Well damn, I'm out of ideas. I don't get to post my granny pantie quote I love so much.


Put a set of 100HP injectors in it, I bet you'll like it then.

you can always burn your spare tire that creates lots of smoke. you need a edge comp and you will get smoke, but first get a set of gauges and a fass fuel pump the holley will not live. been there done that.

I dont know much about the smarty, but the way I understand its only a 65hp gain and thats not really enough to make much smoke.

I have an Edge EZ box on my truck (65hp) and it bairly smokes, you can unplug the MAP sensor and it will fuel the bottom end harder and smoke a bit more, but once the boost comes up there is no differance.

You need a box that taps the pump to get much more smoke and alot more power, the Comp box sure does smoke.

holley blue pump = junk in my experience. waste of money. 2nd, any of the boxes that tap directly into the injection pump wire will give you more smoke. The smarty is a good program but it simply reflashes the factory settings, adds some timing etc. if you want a real smoker, get a TST COMP box or an Edge drag comp, Put it on, leave the smarty in and run both. Itll smoke then, but make sure you have 1! a bettr fuel pump, the holley just wont cut it. 2! a good set of gauges(some boxes have controllers with digital gauges), make sure your at least get a boost gauge, pryometer to monitor your EGTs and a fuel pressure gauge. If you have an Auto, get a trans temp gauge as well. 3! Once you get it to smoke, please do not go around smoking and lugging the thing all over town, we've got enough EPA issues and it costs $$$$ for all that unburnt fuel which is what creates your smoke.

i get a fair amount of smoke with my smarty on 9 and duration 2. its not a lot. just some when i take off hard in 2nd gear (6 speed) and clears up pretty quick and is just a slight haze when i shift to 3rd and nothing in 4th and 5th. it will smoke pretty good though when ya lug the hell out of it. plus my overhead tells me im getting 24mpg with my corrected tire size and smarty on 9
