    The air and fuel have to match that's why when you put it to the floor nothing happens. You will never see it smoke because it has to burn every drop to pass emissons.

    I have a c13 in mine, was 470 stock but put in a 430 file from across the pond, experimented with fls fts fuel settings and went with 30 fls and 40 fts
    It did not like the 500 program at all that haney uses
    and set the boost mod on 3 (adjustable one off ebay)
    pyro runs perfect range, coolant and oil run cool, no turbo lag and i pull a pot loaded at 80-86k and average 6.3 with no power issues, it pulls better than my 3406 did by far
     
    TruckerTW Thanks this.
