smarty on sw5 and no smoke is this normal

i have been playing around with my smarty for a couple of weeks now and have noticed an obvious increase in power. now i know what you guys are thinking its not getting to the ground because i dont have a tc. but it is no slipping from the tc and the thing goes pretty good. anyway i have it set on sw5 and the timing on 2 and tm on 1 or default i forget and rp on default. I have good lift pump pressure. i am wondering why isnt this thing smoking more? it is a very light haze and then its gone right away when i get on it.dont get me wrong im not a huge fan of smoke i just want to know why it isnt smoking?. everything i have done to it is in my sig. am i missing something here thanks guys

I run SW5 with the same settings. I don't have much smoke either. Just a slight puff.

I just don't think 03-04s smoke as hard.

I have tried SW7 yet, waiting to get converter.

tq mgmt (3 and 4) is what gets it to smoke more....e.g. low end fueling pre turbo spool......rp 2 and 3 will help a touch to i believe....

Get her in 4th gear locked at 50mph and hit the throttle...should lay a nice cloud.....

On the 03-04s your not going to get very much smoke at all on stock injectors. I run on SW9, Tq 3, Tm 4, Rp 2 and it yields me very little smoke (which I love) even in 95+ Degree Weather.

I'm at level 9 (Revo) and can make it smoke pretty good at low boost/low rpms. Once the boost is up the smoke is only a haze.

Alto Red Eagle clutches , Kolene steel plates, gasket, seals, sealing rings, custom billet intermediate band, billet strut and anchor, aluminum 4 ring accumulator piston, one of TCI's Torque Converters, and Basic Valvebody Modifications (Shiftkit, and Sonnex internals). Currently the Transmission has 42 1/4 mile passes and knock on wood. As far as my Tune I'm running just the Standard Revo 4.01.

Thats normal on the 03/04s. My 03 has an ever so slight haze to it up to SW5, maybe 6 and 7 also. But on SW9, itll smoke pretty decent.

Even lugging it on SW5 Id only get a little haze.

My 07, on SW2, will blow a decent puff, and SW9...itll blackout any intersection I wanted if I tried. I found it kinda nice driving the 03; had plenty of go, but little smoke

I get a decent amount of smoke on tnt 9 depending on where I set rp at. I do get the occasional pop with the tnt, not sure if its due to timing or draining the rail. Shouldn't be from the rail because we just installed the arson 3, but I have heard of this popping on other 555 motors. Usually at WOT.

I ran TNT SW9 for a while and I had an occasional pop also. I switched back to Revo, due to the amount of Smoke. Also my truck performs really well with Revo's Timing 4.

So trying timing 3 and 4 is ok for stock injector trucks? I didn't try it since it says aftermarket injectors and such, but I suppose a little less timing wouldn't hurt. Switching to DDP 90's next week anyway.

Anyone know if its possible to go back to the beta software's after trying the tnt? That's what I've been trying to figure out.
