smoke = no good. especially when you want fuel mileage. black smoke is unused fuel goin out the pipe which is bad for the fuel economy

Post up in the sponser section for a 6 pos chip. I would check out Power Hungry Performance, Swamps or Beans Diesel.

Need some gauges before you get too excited about power adders...

Boost, Pyro and tranny temp at least.

No Programer, a chip...

You could add a valve body for good measure.

For example on the chip...

Power Hungry Performance - FU™ Performance Chip Package
