What kind of truck do you have??? With what you have done you should see a significant diffrence in power but if your wanting to pour black smoke and up your HP even more your going to need to get new injectors.

Just so you know smoke does not equal power, smoke equals partially burnt fuel

A Smarty will kill your stock auto, and I have never heard of a bullydog fuel pump, unless you mean an Airdog fuel pump, you can also get a FASS but all these pumps do is keep the CP3 well supplied with fuel, which is good for making power

Injectors are a waste on stock turbo trucks, all you will do is get too much fuel, too much heat and too much smoke, you'll burn up your engine and thats all you will get


Smoke is pointless, A little smoke is ok but a lot is just stupid!

Not totally true, I've seen a cummins with 50hp injectors, airdog 100, a better TC, 4" straight pipe, with an MP-8 stacked with a smarty and put out close to 585 HP with the stock turbo.

Wow! I have over 100k on Flux Is and my engine is going to burn up? Really?

You should really qualify your statement...

I find my 4" straight pipe, AirDog 100, Flux Is, 6spd, and SmartyJR a very driveable combination...and once its warm, I get almost no smoke even at WOT (unless I purposely lug the engine). Even before the Smarty JR, the Flux Is yielded almost no smoke, and no more than stock injectors.

And that's with 250k on the clock and a stock turbo.

No such thing as the "best" way, it's whatever way works for you. Check out the aftermarket forum for your truck and just do some reading, everyone has thier own combo that works best for them.

And exactly my point steved. Alot can be done with the stock turbo on the Cummins motors.
