I installed a Banks 6 gun on my pick up. Recently, it's started to smoke..really heavy, really black. I haven't thought about taking the Banks unit off, but I will if I'm going to screw up my pick-up. My boost is okay right now, but slow to build until the crap gets blown out. EGT's are from 900 (normal) to 1050 on the high side (no towing) and coolant issues (puking coolant, a question asked earlier..) are not present...thank God. I drive about 300 miles a day, at 70 to 85 mph... and don't have a smoking problem at high speeds while maintaining speed. Experienced the tranny slipping a few times (pushing the foot feed from 70mph to a higher speed in a rush) which scared the crap out of me, but nothing else. The smoking issues start when I'm in traffic and forced to keep it slow and when I have to accelerate from slow to moving out in a hurry. My husband says it's "just getting too much fuel", not to worry. I'm worried. I originally posted this thread in "performance accessories" and was encouraged to move it here. I don't care where it's posted, as long as someone is willing to tell me what they think is going on with my pick-up. Banks said "set 'er on 5 and go". I'm not comfortable with the answer. Spent way too much time and money and would appreciate any meaningful input.
