What pyro are you running?
I'm wondering how bad I need to invest in one. I've seen them @ $150 and was wondering what everyone is running and how much I need to save to get one.
The PO told me that the pump is turned up 1.5 flats. I cant confirm this.
The truck only smokes the slightest bit on heavy accel going up a hill, little bit of gray smoke during cold start/warm up.
I'm worried about EGTs but from what I read it doesn't sound like I got a whole bunch of fuel getting dumped in. What do you think?
Thanks

I'm running glowshift, was about 100 bucks. Seams OK for my use, not dd and usually trips are less then 50 miles. If I was heavy hauling or doing extended drives regularly I'd prob invest in a better one. But I'm happy with it

Isspro, I got it lightly used off ebay. But its worth buying new, I just happened upon the deal. I want to say Isspro makes a lot of pyros for the big trucks...
Depends on who talk to, but I think Glowshift is has an extra 'f' in their name...

Mine hits 1000* wot from dead stop to 5th up a steep hill empty. 400* cruising. I'm pushing 80ccs of fuel and 10psi of boost. Not a whole lot of difference loaded with 2 rank of green firewood.

I like the looks of this Hypermax combo gauge:
Hypermax - Product Display
Of course I'd never be able to justify $250 for a gauge, nor would I want to, so it's never going to happen in my truck.

Not a bad looking gauge, but considering most turbos for our trucks wouldn't use HALF that boost range, I'd say it's overkill.
I use a Autometer Sport-Comp (digital) EGT gauge, but it's not working right. I tried to get cute and make it work with the pyro in the stock Banks location, so now I have to order a whole new wiring harness, tap the manifold, and do it right like I should have done in the first place.
