low power

my brother in law has a 99 dodge.It runs good but smokes alot,seem low on pulling power,lots of smoke and struggles with 6000 pounds on a hill.It has a dtt trans.4 inch exhaust,mad ecm and edge comp chip.Even before the catcher(mad ecm) it smoked alot and not very good pulling power.He has boost,pyro and trans temp guages.It seems to build good boost,it will hit 30psi.do the 24's have a check valve on the pump like the 12's?Thanks for the help.

He should be able to hit a lot higher than 30psi with that set up.
Tell him to adjust the wastegate to open a little higher and maybe he'd lose a bit of that smoke.

What injectors if any is he running? What kind of EGT's does he see?
Has he tried running just the MAD ECM without the Comp box? Maybe there is an issue with the Comp that is causing his problem.
