OK, newb question, but I am curious since I haven't ridden in any other IDIs...
My truck seems to run strong enough all the time. Not a speed demon, but once it builds some boost (non-WG Banks Sidewinder) it trucks right along. But, one thing it seems to have always done since I've owned it (few years now) is to fall pretty flat on its face the last couple hundred RPM up to the governor. When it gets toward the end of the range, the power drops off significantly, the smoke picks up (only a light haze up until the end), and the boost drops quite a few PSI. Admittedly, I haven't played with the timing or fuel a ton to try to alleviate this, but I also don't want to spend a ton of time trying to eliminate something that might just be 'built in' to the truck. Is this just a characteristic of the IP timing, or should I try playing with the timing a bit?
The truck only has 90K miles, runs just fine, starts great, and otherwise does the job I need. I have timed it in the past (cannot remember what I set it to, but I used Gary's rental setup to do it), but since I've timed it, I have added the Facet fuel pump and also dialed the fuel screw back a bit to turn the smoke down to reasonable levels.
