I probably should, but I'm gonna try and advance the pump some more first. It actually burns really clean, I only have smoke when the turbo isn't spooled, and maybe a slight haze when it's running WOT. I really do need new exhaust. Then I'm going to stuff an 8.3 cummins in here. (OK, maybe dreaming a little, but it would be edit).

I still haven't bumped the timing yet, would/does it lower the boost some? What about the egt's? I can still wrap the pyro if I want too. Especially in o/d loaded down. Some thing just doesn't seem right with this truck. Seems like its getting ALOT of fuel. Heck, at WOT it'll shoot a 3" flame out of the stack. Is that normal? I don't think it is, or is it just me? Whaddya think Dave???
Anyway, glad everythings going well for u Greg.

Yeah, you need more advance. That will help with both the boost and the EGT. 45 psi is too fast for the turbo, you will blow it up if the head gasket holds out long enough.

I'll have to see if I can get a flame out of mine tomorrow morning. I never looked.
