Ok, i have made a few posts here and i have been searching for endless hours... but i cant figure out how i can make my 03 smoke. I would love to just punch it and black out a 4 lane highway but i can not figure out what tuner i need to go with. I have seen that ppe xcellerator will make my truck smoke the way i want possibly but i am not sure. I dont want to mod my trans yet. I would LOVE an edge w/attitude but i guess it wont smoke for me on lvl3 which the stock allie can handle? I really need some help on this. I want to get this rolling and i want my tuner but i cant find what one i need to make some nice black smoke.
I do understand that black smoke that i want is just unburnt fuel so please dont critisize me because of it. Some people like the big cloud of black smoke and some dont. So i am hoping that this post will solve my problem once and for all. Thank you everyone who will help!
:help:

mine smokes so much i would love you just give you some because i cant stand it sometimes, sometimes it is embarrsing. But anyway, if you run a juice and a programmer you will get all the smoke you want. leave the programmer on the lowest stage and then just use the juice on 3 or 4 you will get some smoke. careful of your tranny....

I can put the bully dog on the extreme level and blow black smoke whenever i want without having to worry about damaging my allie?
So edge just wont get it done? i REALLY love the attitude moniter...

rmkleman,
i run my edge on lvl 3/5 and i can get a good puff if i get on it right off the bat or if im driving and gun it. i've heard of guys running it on lvl1/5 and seeing smoke, other guys get thiers to smoke a lot running it on the same lvl as me?? my truck just doesnt seem to smoke that much. i too would like to smoke out cars from time to time but without stacking another chip i dont think its going to happen. somehow if you could restrict the air going into your motor you would get smoke especially if you had a tuner. but you wouldnt get power you want. ive come to the conclusion that i will have to buy a tranny in the future to get what i want!

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but I don't see a solution to your question. To get smoke, you have to add fuel. Everything off the shelf will dump fuel, but make more power too - destroying a stock tranny. So, I can see only 2 other items to look into: (1) You could try to custom tune a program that dumps fuel via EFI live, and I see its on sale now too. Or (2) I wonder if bigger injectors would smoke more w/o adding a lot of power and limping the trans.

Otherwise, its tranny time! I see no way around it unless EFI live is the answer. I bought a $450 module that smokes okay, and a $4300 tranny to handle the power. Of course, I wanted the smoke AND the power.

I have heard of the bully dog putting out the smoke and still not having enough power to hurt the tranny so that could be an option.

bullydog doesnt defuel so i dont know how that could be, constant smoke = too much power for stock tranny

Just pull off the boot to your turbo and voilla,all the smoke you could ever want.Since that is all you seem to care about,thats exactly all you'll get.Since this is your 4TH thread about Blowing black smoke,either you cant read or you live under a bridge.

really silly wanting all that smoke anyway.
some states will write you up for it.. I have seen them impound a oil burner for excessive smoke and they had warned the guy several times and he failed to fix it.. so they fixxed it! took it off the road... Yey I did not have to smell that pos again!

To get lot's of smoke, you'll need lots of power, or efi. That's the only way to get enough smoke to cloud up a four lane highway. Are you getting any clues here?

Try a pressure box like a Duramaximizer. Adds fuel without adding timing or pulse width = smoke (especially when not stacked, I imagine). Also has an infinitely adjustable knob so you can crank it up when desired and turn down when the novelty of paying for all that unburnt fuel wears off.

Thats perfect. Or you could try the hot +2 xcellarator.
