Default Not so "Smoke Show"
Why do I get substantially more smoke under heavy acceleration in my 100hp tune then then 120 smoke show? Thanks.

Wonder if they were misnamed? Which one feels more powerful?

Can I get some specifics on your truck? I may be able to shed some light on your issue.

Well, being that you already have the "large" injectors, it seems that possibly you received two programs in the wrong spots on the chip. It's been known to happen to anyone.

However, in the case of correct placement, you are still not getting the desired results from a tune called "smoke show", there may be underlying issues with the truck or possibly a safety net Bill built in due to the substandard quality of the powdered metal connecting rods your truck has.

Sorry I'm not too much help here without actually SEEING the programming.
