Maxed out my SCMT?

[orion_134]

When I had a stock truck with the SCMT I could always puff out the smoke but now that I have a 4" turbo-back, homemade filter, shimmed fpr, etc...I never get any smoke and it makes me think that I have maxed out the tuner. Time for a custom chip or better tuner?

The intake and the exhaust is helping get the air in and out of the engine keeping your A/F ratio to where you arent seeing the smoke now. Want smoke? Gotta have more fuel. Sadly, the SCMT wont give it to you.

no smoke is really a good thing, i think.

less smoke, the fuel is being burned better.

right?

Understandable, but when watching all the drag trucks in the NDRA leave the line, they are followed by their smoke...Maybe cooling cylinders with fuel?

Dunno, maybe I should change the question...what tuner or custom chip will be worth switching for?

I had a SCMT, I was in your shoes once upon a time. Even with upsized injectors I wasnt getting the performance out of the SCMT that the engine was capable of. If I were you I would contact one of the custom chip burners like DPTuner or Beans Diesel Performance (both vendors here) and get a chip tuned to your specs. I dont think you'll be happy with another brand of programmer.
