[QUOTE="maplemale, post: 1137230, member: 17366"] Looks like from your signature you've got way bigger than stage 1s? Are those hybrids? Do you have a more stock tune they don't smoke on? Or, smokes the same on all tunes? Also, wondering if you have the wet stacking issue when in town / dinking around. Not that it's really an issue per-say. FYI: My fuel pressure is good. Pretty study at 65. I also pulled the valve covers and re-torqued (was all spec) and then gave it another 1/4 turn or so just because. Someone asked me what my HPOP cranking PSI was. I haven't been able to tell. Unless it's really cold out, the truck normally fires up so fast (except that one time it didn't), that you can't really see the PSI for the 1 second of cranking. I guess with all of this, I'm thinking the no-start issue last week must be unrelated. Maybe I had a frozen fuel line? Maybe I need new batteries. Guess I'll find out for sure this week when I take her to MT for vacation. I want to go to the Riff Raff Event in Tennessee this year just so I can pick brains and listen to other trucks with the same mods and maybe figure this out. Or, maybe come to the conclusion that it's 100% normal / ok to have a way rougher cold idle and lots of smoke even with just stage 1s. :shrug: mandkole, Thanks for the pdf. That's actually really informative. Just makes me want to pull the injectors again and verify no signs of having broken ones (carbon build up etc). [/QUOTE]
