    I've done it!! I've broken free from my nasty habit of...SMOKING!! After reviewing logs and knowing what values smoke and doesn't smoke, blendind and rounding everything linearly, I now have a "smokeless" tune!! There's a light haze at best building up to 20+psi boost and there is no "wall" where the tune just let's go after building "X" ammount of boost or feels like the truck is holding back when the torque converter is locked in 4th when you want to accelerate. It's now clean and very smooth! Glory Hallelujah!!! Man I'm pumped...

    Attached are a couple pics where the mm3 line takes a similar path as boost is built. VERY similar when the throttle is rolled on and quite similar when mashed. Seems to be key for me in making boost and supressing smoke without feeling limited.

    Great work. I'm happy for you!

    On a side note; I have been having a hard time setting up my dashboard like you have done. I have the analog gauge setup on one page, but it is not something that I am very proud of. I know that viewing logs in the format that you are using is a much better way to do it. Has anyone posted a file for the different pages that I can download?

    Made a little more progress with the boost limiter today...

    I changed my pre-2,000rpm timing to a modified stock and it smokes less and only gives a quick, slight haze when you get on it then cleans up. I noticed I'm also getting more 2-3-2-3 shuttling with this change.

    Big Red finally smoke free from stop too wide open with big power also sounds better than the stock OEM tune at idle. It has been months of fighting for the sweet spot😃 I like to thank all for all the tips that has been posted 👍

    Ok FUBAR, with all of this talk about how good your truck runs and how little it smokes I had to contact Les at silver bullet tuning. I just started working with him and all I can say is "wow"! I now have zero smoke during normal acceleration, and much less smoke during moderate/heavy accel. I'm surprised how it can be responsive, and clean. I'm one of those guys that likes to do everything myself, but sometimes help from someone who really knows what they are doing makes all the difference. Les obviously knows what he is doing! I'm really excited with the progress that has been made, and to get everything dialed in.

    2006Cummins, that's really great to hear! I know exactly what you mean by being a DIY guy when it comes to your truck. But whether it be my truck, or framing a door, if I don't exactly know how to do it, I'm not too proud to ask for help (just ask my buddy who came over a few weeks ago with his portable planer, lol.) Now log, small change, log, small change, etc. I'm actually happy to say I haven't flashed my truck in a while, I'm that happy with it.
