OK guys I have been playing with my fuel/air settings.
Scenario #1- "Stock" settings the way the truck came to me with waste gate adjusted for 10lbs and fuel at no smoke. Egts would get to 1050-1100 on a long pull in 5th gear. Could drop to 4th and run it wide open and never get over 1050.
Scenario #2- Fuel turned 2 flats(fair amount of smoke when lugged under 5lbs of boost, Wastegate adjusted to 12lbs, Egts would hold at 1100 in 5th gear, and seemed to run great, just alot of smoke when lugging in 3-4th gear. It would clear up once you got above 8lbs of boost.
Scenario #3- Current set-up. Wastegate plugged, will push 12-15lbs. Fuel turn back to 1 flat above "stock" setting. This setup will run 1100+ in 5th causing me to back when lugging in 5th gear. Back out to 4th and will hold at 1050ish at 55, but still gets hot if i try to push more than 12ish lbs.
I love having the wastegate plugged because it spools much faster, which helps alot towing.
All these scenarios are towing 10k, 4lanes roads in hilly areas. All mods in sig.
My Queston is. It seems to run hotter with the fuel turned down, and wastegated plugged, than it did with fuel turned up and wastegate set to 12.
Is it possible to have too much air(plugged wstgate), and not enough fuel?
