Question Black Smoke

What are some ways to increase the smoke on my truck. im running a bully dog on the extreme setting at the moment and it smokes a little on heavy throttle, but nothing special. also, if i changed to efi live could i get more? i have only heared good things about this tuner. any help on this would be great.

Yes but you do have to tune your own tunes, with efi live.

With EFI live you need a lap top. If you get PPE it smokes like crazy. I love it. If you just want to plug in and smoke like crazy get PPE. If you want to make you own changes and tune yourself. Get EFI Live

I guess I don't understand why everyone has to have tons of smoke. Don't get me wrong smoke is cool to an extent, but you can make plenty of power without smoke.

ok, yeah i have also heared ppe is a great tuner. however, i figured efi live would be better in the long run with its custom tuning capabilities. don't get me wrong, my bully dog has also been great to me, just looking into the alternatives for a bit more power and smoke

Efi takes a big learning curve, but your options are endless. Tuners and boxes kinda limit what can be done.

It's not hard to learn the program itself, but it takes alot to make a tune that actually works well. There are many places to make mistakes.
