you can run it in as far as you can get the jambnut back on it doesn't really help the power maybe just a touch of throttle response it pushes on the diaphram like it has boost already if you take that out and turn the cone 90 degrees usually where the deepest angle is facing straight to the cab will give you a little more power

I appreciate it, that's what I was thinkin. I've got to get a pyro before I mess with that. Everytime I go to order, somethin takes the money away. I was just bored, I thought maybe I can go blow some smoke. I'm easily amused, if you can't tell already.

Mine has a lot more smoke when you start it, more when you slam the throttle down from a dead stop, and will barely break the back tires loose from a dead, which I thought was pretty good. If you hold the break a little bit, it'll melt the tires

bigrich, if you turn that fuel pin and the afc star-wheel, you will get some good smoke and some power, we did a friend of mines '89 and the difference was amazing. I followed him down the road and it made me jealous.

i paid around $400 for the injectors and $400 for the housing the injectors will definitely put out some smoke i run my smoke screw all the way out with this setup and i can still dim headlights good at night
