Ya I figured turbo and maybe nozzles. I’m just not that educated one what length or where to stop in size. Obviously with no air to air it’s probably a little more limited if we want it to be reliable.

Next chance I get, I’ll look at the turbo and see what it’s size it might be.

I had read about the start screw.
It’s not really limited, the water aftercooler isn’t holding it back.

He won’t have to worry about that with a mechanical cat, it doesn’t have enough fuel to push anything that hard.

So the timing part should come off and be looked at.

80 psi sounds like a bit much lol 45-50 would be nice.

With the pump on the truck, and some new nozzles and appropriate air, what could we expect? Don’t need to oversize the nozzles and air if it creates more issues. But I’m sure the old man would love to have some power to play with on occasion.

He’s told me he’s decided on 3.90 with the 15over because he likes that trans.

Did you mention there isn't a decent hill within 1000 miles of us?

3406 4mg. I have a constant smoke trail under any load. Empty or loaded. Its not a haze, its smoke. Nozzles have been pop tested,timing advance gone through, timing checked, and recently had the b&p out and lapped as they were bypassing. Still smoking the same.It has or-8785 nozzles,78/96-1.45,good air to air that has been checked. Still pulls about 42 psi on the manifold. Pyro has been getting a little warmer than usual. It will hit 900ish (after turbo) here lately. Where can i go from here?

Have pistons been changed?

4mg would at best have 15.2:1 pistons, the 8785 are for a 14.5:1 piston so the bowls are different, it sounds to me that you are spraying out of the bowl and this is causing your trailing smoke.

What is timing set at?

Pistons have not been changed. Ive been running this setup for about 3 yrs and the smoking started about 4-5 months ago. afrc has also been changed as well. Ive about got everything together for a set of acert compounds to be mocked up for it.

You know it, I am gonna have the shifter scraping the roof when I am done.

Thinking of just pulling the grill out so the shutters on the radiator look like louvers.

Point the CB antennas forward, make sure the mic cord is swinging beside your head because you don’t want to be more than 6” away from taking to Billy big rig’r. Red interior lights so you can pretend you are a submarine captain and DO NOT forget the bandana on the steering column.
