I have a 94 2500 4x4 manual truck.I bought the truck turned up abit.rumor has it all the tuning was done while it was strapped to a dyno.It seems that way because the EGTS are always within reason,it has TONS of power,and it only smokes if you really try hard.I don't know the exact power numbers it is at,but from what ive been told the pump is maxed out with stock injectors,and the turbo goes all the way up to max boost at 35 PSI.The truck has a 550 HP valair ceramic clutch because stock couldn't hold the power.
As for the smoking thing,The truck will not smoke unless I have my foot more than 3/4 into it.So it never smokes in town,but out on the highway if I go to pass 5+ cars in a row it will cover them with smoke.Some people like the smoke and want theres to smoke more.I want mine to smoke less.the smoke just gives other people more of a reason to hate diesels and its just dollars blowing out the tailpipe.
Is there a way to turn down the smoke at full throttle without decreasing power or affecting the truck everywhere else?
on the highway egts are 500 post turbo and 6-700 while pulling a trailer.Even passing a bunch of people at the same time will only make the egts climb to 1000 or so but it cools down immediately after I get off the throttle.Pretty much don't even get to see the egts up that high.
so anyway to make it smoke less at full throttle without loosing power?
