Hey this is my first post i was originally going to go with a DP Tuner but have decided that i like PHP a whole lot more. my main question is how much smoke am i going to get out of the 140 hp tune. i drive a 99 F250 with Forged rods a 4 inch turbo back straight pipe exhaust and boost and egt gauges. i want a decent amount of smoke since i am just using this tune to show off. also is smoke show a tune that you can drive in for a short distance or is it just for idle. any help would be appreciated.

You'll get enough smoke to really get the green peace eco-nazi terrorists fired up and ready to pass more EPA legislation, that's for sure.

Smoke show can be used all the time. I haven't been able to test it out (hello, hello, is this thing on? :cheesy smile:) but I would ASSUME it to be a roughly 100 HP tune with low boost fueling changes. All other driving conditions would warrant a "normal" 100 or so horsepower tune.

I post a lot here since I'm a "moderator" but I also have a lot of knowledge of 7.3L Powerstroke operation/theory.

How do I know Bill?

I don't. I've talked to him a few times on the phone, a few times via e-mail, and I bought a lot of stuff from him. :smiley_roll1:

:smiley_roll1::smiley_roll1: Maybe Bill and Cody at multiple personalities of the same person Heh:cheesy smile: I have the 140 and my smoke show is also built (by Bill) off of the 140 with 95% low boost fueling across the board... you will get plenty of smoke if you get on the throttle at 100 hp and up.... I do even with my free flowing exhaust mods.... the smoke show really just gives you more smoke at low boost and light throttle compared to the others

I wish I could get Cody to consider moving to GA. ;) We could use the help!

The wife says "If he finds us a house with enough acreage for the livestock and it's in a decent location........and he pays for it, then we'll do it." :smiley_roll1:

I really don't think that I could be much help anyway.

It's nice to know that you would offer, though. ;)
