So, there's no way to inject fuel after TDC to create smoke? Or will commanding injectors open that long send overlapping signals? Just trying to butt in here and learn a little. Forgive me if I'm way off base.

Welcome, the best way to learn is to ask lots of questions... we are a small group here in the Minotaur forum but friendly and helpful folks
Unfortunately I have been busy with other projects this summer plus was sidelined for several weeks with cellulits in my knee along with a skull fracture and allergic reaction the the antibiotics, so I have not got to play much on this topic since I posted... you can retard the SOI but as Cody has mentioned else where on this forum, there is no single setting for SOI as it is constantly being changed by other influencing maps, parameters, sensor data etc.... So to answer your question there is plenty of ways to make smoke and most of the tunes do pretty good at it. I now have the telltale black soot stain on rear quarter panel of my truck... I actually want to try getting rid of some of the smoke on my 100hp setting as I have got pretty addicted to that one as my daily driver..... prob have to wait till winter when its too cold to work on my outdoor projects

I wish it was easier to look at other tuner's tunes.
My "smoke" tune by DI is my favorite to drive in. It's much more smooth and quiet than the rest of them. I imagine it has something to do with a slightly delayed SOI. It's obvious that the power is not as snappy with that tune, but it seems to pull longer and harder in the top end.

That's cuz smoke is good for torque but bad for EGT's.

Play with your pulse width tables.

the monkey wrench in my tuning is that the computer is defaulting to High altitude settings cuz I am at 6000ft elevation so I have played with the maps for altitude a bit. I need to figure out how to get the two to work together best...

Is there a way to "flatten out" all of those computer based calculations to keep your truck from taking over? I would like to be in control of what's going on a little more than that. In my opinion, the less multipliers and maps, the better. I know they're needed in some cases...
I guess I'd like my truck to run more like a 12V cummings in that there is not much that is taken away from you or added without your permission...
