Ok guys i have the pods in and 5 turns on the fuel screw. Pump timed to the head. smoke screw just a plug. I have never messed with the star wheel. I think it run better with the stock injectors with alot of miles on them. So i am asking what i need to do to make the pods perform better. thanks Scott

no smoke at all? not even take off?
is the afc line hooked up?

there is alittle smoke kind of dark gray but no black smoke at take off or punching it down the road.

did it have the smoke before the pods?
maybe the fuel pin is stuck? or the afc isn't working right no boost to it?

Yes i had alot of smoke before and i just changed from a bully dog fuel pin back to my stock pin that i grinded on.. i do have boost pressure may not to it. Are these numbers ok running 70 mph 2500 rpm 650 to 700 priometer 8 pounds of boost.

Where did you get these POD's? How many holes were in the tips?

I got the injectors from PDR

Call 'em up then. POD's are not a whole lot bigger than stock non-IC injectors, but they should have increased your power (and smoke).

It appears you have the same set up as me for the most part and performance issues. What kind of boost and egt's do you have at WOT? When I first installed my PDR POD's I had very little smoke, power, and low egt's. After playing with the pump for a while I've got much more power! and smoke and egt's. I guess I just had to get to know the truck. I hit 40psi now and did that for the first time 2 days ago. I also can hit 1500* quick like if I want. Only did it once and man was she rollin! I average 600-650 egt at 70mph. Not sure of RPM. I gotta get a tach, soon!

yes this afternoon i was going 70 mph 650 to 700 priometer 8 to 10 pounds of boost and 2500 rpm. Sat i will try to turn up the fuel screw some more. Thanks for yall help. Scott

i hit 40psi with mine and no grind on fuel pin and stock injectors
turned down the diafram so now i run up to 30-35, dont want to granade a turbo.

I have 3:08's in my truck. The RPM your showing for that speed is high. In 3rd at 2500 RPM I am hitting between 85/90 MPH.

Your trans converter is very loose. If your converter acts like mine the more you turn up the engine the more it slips.

Ok i fixed my afc tube like the one ine the sticky and i have alot of grey smoke now. So do i need to turn the pump up some more to get alot of black smoke.

Alwaysworking

look at the afc, set it deepest part forward, but with the setting your sig says it should smoke a lot now from take off

how bout peddle travel vs what happens under the hood, I know Dave has fixed a few by adjusting/ replacing a linkage to get full travel........
