Default No power or smoke!

Got no fuel plate the truck barely has power, it struggles up hills and only hits 23psi. Barely smokes off the line even when i want it to is almost like still being stock. Checked ofv and thats fine, i dont hear any boost leaks. It starts up fine and my soleinoid is lifting fully. What could be my problem here. It also is rough at idle. The truck shakes a lot. It only started having a rough idle with my new tc. Whats going on with it?

If is started after you put the new TC on, I would start there maybe a bad converter.

So how does my torque converter affect my smoke? It deffinitly puts more power to the ground compared to my stock converter. Could I have a dirty injector? or maybe air getting in my fuel? even before the converter change my stock wasnt very fast or strong as I thought it would be when i bought it. That even struggled up hills and barely smoked. I have a fuel leak but only when i shutoff my truck, and it leaks from a banjo on my fuel filter????? Maybe that will ring a bell with someone because im lost

If you have fuel leaking out then air is getting in. So I would fix that and see if that helps you. There are several things you can do, get the injectors pop tested. Run some injector cleaner through them, change fuel/air filters. You can do a valve slash. Those are all things you can do for cheap that can improve performance.

IS your exhaust white? usually when you have rough idle its injectors thats my two cents.

Well there is some white smoke at start up, but over all there isnt much white smoke when driving if any.

Ya once it warm and you still got some white smoke I bet its injectors if not what the other guy said.

Could the torque converter really cause this? Because I cant see how that would effect my truck, its seemed to be slow since i bought it, even before the new tc i had the stock tranny with a #8 plate and saw no difference. I am lost I really dont wanna buy a new tc

Is your afc working? Timing slipped? Gov springs ?
Rough idle could be vibration, might check your bolts and flex plate. Check fuel pressure and pressure drop at wot.

I believe my afc is working, im getting 23 psi of boost max right now until i get a boost elbow. Timing could be the issue ive never check or done my timing. Also i havent installed my gsk yet, but i do got the 60lb springs in. Maybe it could be timing, or even my afc? How do i check to make sure the afc is working?
