Still no smoke??

Good morning all,<br> Over the weekend I installed Rod's Hi-Flow banjo bolts, and already had a TST PM1. I was hoping for some smoke before a truck pull this weekend, but I can hammer it from a dead stop and not even get a whiff from what I can see in the mirrors. Anybody have any suggestions? I love the smoke when a load is applied, and I thought it would look good when the sled is moving.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Tiny

With just an EZ, I can send a nice cloud of smoke from a dead stop. What kind of fuel pressure are you seeing?

Smoke is all relative. Some might think a little is a lot, and a lot is a little. <br><br>IMHO, with just a COMP box, on 5x5, there was VERY little smoke. :<br><br>Andrew

With the new lift pump and the Hi-Flows, I am cruising 65 at 13.5-14 psi. If I nail it from a dead stop I am unable to see any smoke in the passenger side rear view mirror.

What is your elevation? The lower you get I beleive there is less smoke???? Maybe something to do with it? Get yourself a TST powermax comp with some EDM Mach 4's and she will smoke

The only time I can see smoke is from a dead stop or if I'm really low in the RPM band and I nail it with it on 5x5. I've got 13 psi at WOT. Get a set of Buddha Injectors. That should smoke.

Oh, I forgot to say, with my JR Adkins STAGE 5 Nuclear Nozzle EDM's I can stop a 3 lane freeway.

Get rid of them injectors - 1/2&quot; pipe threaded into the head ;D <br><br>With my truck I see great difference in smoke depending on the fuel I use. <br>Usually the less smoke the better the economy. <br><br>AlpineRAM

Thanks for the replies fellas, I guess we will run it as is and see what happens. Next step is 275 injectors and a Scotty II.

Re:Still no smoke??

You said that under a load you see some smoke. If you are pulling you will be under a load. Trust me. My buddy has just the Edge ez and he gets a nice flow of smoke, but it clears quick.
