"Smoke Switch"
So ive been hearing some talking about a so called smoke switch, and i found that if i have a question about ford that i cant seem to find, theres bound to be a knowledgable group of people here.
Ive read up on a switch that a person can put in-line with their MAP sensor, when the switch is flipped it sends a full signal the the computer telling it the truck is at full boost, in turn dumping fuel into the motor. My questions is how could this work if the computer begins to de-fuel around 22 lbs of boost? ive heard of more people doing this with Dodges but ive read a couple threads about it on a Ford.
Any and all knowledge would be helpfull, Thanks!!!

Yep, variable smoke switch on my truck musta been broke. Probably a loose connection that got fixed when the DP Tuner was installed

I do believe it takes more then the map sensor being fooled on our trucks to make it dump more fuel. With my OBA I can smoke tons of smoke and the map sensor only sees 20# boost.

I know their is a smoke switch on a 6.0 they disable the EGR or something by a switch and that thing will roll to coal.

There's a pretty good thread running about it on another site. They are arguing about cutting off either the MAP sensor or the EBPV. It's an entertaining read.
Diesel Power Mag is where you need to go.

Its easily done. We just did it on a 2000 with the Bully Dog Power Pup. Where the map sensor plugs in, I tapped the red and white wires on the Bully Dog Harness and put a switch in there. It works great.

LOL... There is no "smoke switch" on a 7.3... turn the chip up.
A 6.0 they can open the turbo vains at low boost which will smoke.
Waste of time, make some power, the smoke will come with it.

Actually, I would have to say that any other truck around here would have a hard time keepin up with this one. We put the smoke switch on just to puff a bit of smoke at the ricers. Dont critisize me, I know how to build them the right way. That involves pulling that stupid v-8 out and droppin in an inline 6 thats pushing just over 600 hp on fuel only.

Sounds like a troll to me...
There a few "stupid V8s" out there making more than 600 on fuel only. And I can certainly black out the sky for anyone behind me now...
