Smoke is un-used fuel----------so that is wasted fuel and wasted power.
Greg,
What do you mean by a tow/play mode? What exactly have you done? Im looking at putting a fuel plate and governor spring in my 97 12v. Is there a way to turn the fuel back down to reduce EGTs w/o having to take it all back apart?
But then you have two more factors to look at....to rich - black smoke and slightly higher EGts....run to lean and possible risk burning up more. (i dont have that problem)
Either way...i have the feeling that my truck is going to run aways from yours if you ever decided to go wheeling with me.....

As long as your EGT's stay under control QUOTE]
So since adding nitrous to your system adds oxygen thus creating a more efficeint burn..does that mean that a small shot would lower EGT's or raise them? Assuming you have a situation like mine that already has way too much fuel.

ANNNND you don't end up with too much cylinder pressure, you're good..

There is no way to turn the fuel down without messing with the fuel plate. It depends on what plate you are going to use as to how high the EGT's are. I run a #0 plate slid all the way forward, afc forward, and stock turbo with a homemade intake and my EGT's run high. Im talking playing around, 3rd gear, 2,000 rpm, and full throttle running around 1,100 to 1,200 degrees and you dont want to know how bad it is towing something, so just choose the plate wisely.Greg,

The easiest way to control egt's is let up on the throttle and or down shift. Why go to the trouble and expense of "turning" it down, just let up a little. You could adjust the throttle control cable so it won't go wot.
