black smoke

This mornin i tried the 5.6k mod first and second gears rocked even with the six gun on the stock setting, but i was hoping for black smoke the only way i could get it was put the six gun on the highest setting then it was still very minamal smoke only when i floored it it would put out a few puffs, so i was just wondering if anybody knows any other ways to get the black smoke

Theory only:

The colder it gets outside, the less black smoke you'll probably see. This is because cold air is denser and as such, the turbo can pack more of it into the cylinders. With more air the mixture is not as rich, so it won't smoke as much.

might check to make sure you didn't get your wires crossed. When you turn your ignition to on you check engine light should cycle on then right back off like before the mod was hooked up.

More then likely just an ICP out of range code, nothing to worry about. The ICP mods make the pcm see a voltage value that is out of Ford's set range and thinks the injectors need more oil so it bumps the pressure, basically how the mod works anyway. Well in some situations this condition gets so far out of range that it sets the SES light. Like I said nothing to worry about mine does it occasionally too, with the clamp mod.
