Default Hi and loaded question

hey everyone im going to start off with a general question. i have a fully modified 5.9 cummins. around town i blow tons of black smoke its cool but i want to tone it down. i have a triple dog and thought if i could control my shift point i might be able to calm the excess smoke. i was also thinking about adding meth inj to help? also i cant figure out how to use the triple dog to adjust shift points. any and all suggestions are welcome thanks

holy cow man, i dont think you'll be able to clean it up, unless you get bigger twins...the only way to clean up smoke is more air...i guess you could try nitrous it might clean it up but its cheatin power

Keep yer foot out of it! Really, you're either gonna have to lose some fuel or gain more air earlier. I've never had the chance to play with twins, but I wonder if dropping from the Aurora 3000 down to like a 2000 would spool 'em both up quicker and a little lower in the power band? It would still smoke, but clear-up quicker. Losing the 150 sticks and going with 90's would make a difference too. Though you'll obviously lose some power, it'll be a little more street friendly.


Oh, and welcome to DieselBombers!
