Judging by your sig, sounds like a fun truck to drive! You definitely need a fair amount of timing when running pods.

How far does 1 go with the timing-I only moved it an 1/8 of an inch-should I take it over to head? As the little I moved it didn't seem to do too much! And can't seem to get the smoke down! The biodiesel I made made it run a little quieter and cut some of the smoke!

I have my pump moved one full tooth inside from stock plus it's almost hiting the head on the out side. I can move it one more tooth and still be safe. Runs like a viper.

Zane, push the timing as far as you can move it. Like Greg said, POD's need a lot of timing to burn the fuel.
