black smoke and power

Smoke is the preparation to power.
If you need power you need 2 things: fuel and air.Lots of air!
The bad thing is in that moment the pedal hits the floor fuel is injected- more than enough- smoke develops because of the lack of air.
An aftermarket turbocharger with a huge pressure build up or high flow needs a certain time to spool up to deliver that air. The bad thing is that diesel start to smoke at least at 18:1.
So you need a matched turbo or fuel injection. Tuners like the smarty work with overfuelling. Get a proper turbocharger ($$$) and smoke will be gone.
So smoke shows a mismatched turbo/fuelinjection and some think it's cool.
I wouldn't worry about it as long as tires are burned in africa and china on a daily basis.

Back to the op, the edge is a decent chip, but power wise wont touch smarty or bullydog, and i have also seen alot of problems with edge chips because they plug into so many different locations, and have loose wires in there harness all the time causing alot of problems. I havent run the adren on a common rail yet, so cant give any feedback for that one but smarty and download tnt, or bully dog and download the larry files for it.

quad adrenaline an a vp truck (98.5-02) are probably the best out there, but on a common rail (03+) is alot different.
