Default 140hp chip and no smoke ?

i have a 1996 f250 auto and ordered a ts 6 pos chip cold air intake and boos presure relief valve and cant figure out why even on the 140 setting my truck dosent black smoke. now im not wanting to blanket a 6 lane highway but a little trail getting on it would be enjoyable. Does anyone think there is an issue with my truck or what cause other people on youtube who have the same chip and truck will roll coal liek its nothing.

Your stock truck can't supply enough extra fuel to allow it to smoke! Every truck is different but some powerestrokes are just that way, just enjoy the clean power!!!

Do you have gauges to monitor all your vitals? If not I would run that chip in your lowest setting or you can cause damage.

You can have your's rebuilt for much cheaper. Rosewood is a site sponsor, Check with him. If you decide on stage 2's though, you will need gauges, HPOP, fuel mods, trans mods...etc... It isn't cheap to build these trucks. And please please please, build for power, not smoke.

yea, i normally only run on 50 maybe 75 setting but i'm trying to decide on what type of gauges and whether to do it on the pillar or go old school and mount it on the bottom of the dash. and 95powersmoker im not building for smoke im building for power but a little smoke would be a good by product when i wanted a little right now even getiing on it from a dead stop it puffs.

how would i get hold of rosewood if their stage 1's are only 500 for the set

Email them, call them or check out their website... Keep in mind that 500 is for building your injectors and assuming that all the parts in the injectors currently are good and don't need to be replaced. If you look, you will pay more for all new parts and a longer warranty.

As far as gauges... I run autometers, not issues in the two years... Isspro is good quality stuff but you pay a little more. Mounting is up to you...

Smoke is overrated but I'm not gonna try to change the world one forum poster at a time...

With stock injectors, you can not, and will not EVER see more then 70-75 extra HP at the Wheels.. AND with a TS chip you might not even see more then 50 extra at the wheels..

Get stage ones or two injectors, THEN get you chip custam burnt.
