Maxed out SCMT?

[orion_134]

I have the mods listed in sig and since I upgraded the exhaust, I only get smoke when I need to replace my air filter? Is it possible that I have grown out of the Superchips Max Tuner? If so, what are my next steps (besides tranny, I'm already getting the ol' lady ready for that one)

From how I read it you're trying to exhibit more smoke when on hard acceleration but not getting it?

 

[orion_134]

No, from what I understand, more smoke means more power, but I am getting no smoke so does that mean I'm leaving some power at the table using this SCMT vs. another brand chip?

More smoke only means that you have not burned the fuel completely. If you have no smoke once the turbo is spooled means that you are burning the fuel completely. Overfueling is waste of fuel and is only needed at the race track or sled pulls. Smoking trucks on the street are a nuisance IMO.


You could possibly have more power left with a more aggressive tuned chip. But also the smaller injectors of the early 99 are going to limit you some.


BTW...I have a very light haze in my 140hp setting once I'm on top of the turbo. But the Stealth HPO system helps with atomization to achieve that.

What rooster said We keep ours to the point of light haze and no more unless Diesel fuel is free of charge

hmm, ok. I guess I was also upset because I saw the exact same truck as me but I had a shimmed fpr and he didn't and he smoked me 15.6 to my 16.4, the only difference was that he had an Edge and I have the SCMT. Thanks for the help.
You guys seeing around 15-17 mpg city/highway?

The Evo is quite a bit hotter than the SC 3 tune and alot hotter than the 2 tune programmer.

Your mileage seems about right for an auto.
