    Hey guys,

    So I got a 15’ WS 4900 EX with a DD16 and 18 spd

    Truck is 600hp 2050 torque deleted and tuned +15% so close to 700hp.

    My question is, can I do anything with boost sensor to make it snort a little black smoke when I’m accelerating? Like the old 60 series? I got the noise and the pipes just missing the smoke if you know where I’m coming from! :(

    Thank you!

    Why make it smoke!? If it is running well and dependable. .leave it be. Think mhyn got it correct.

    You can't wash down a cylinder without over fueling it and smoking!

    If your working that truck. Dont plan to operate it anywhere that has emission requirements. Rolling black coal smoke will get you pulled over toot sweet!

    However, you might try asking at a diesel performance shop. I would not be surprised if there was a programmer available for you to retrofit the engine to roll coal. But your mileage is going to SUCK! Like 2 mpg suck.

    Plan to change your oil a lot more frequently.
    All that extra soot getting onto the crankcase is like throwing sand on your bearings.
