DP-tuner Smoke program Question ??
Those of you that have it, How often do you use it, is it just for having a little fun, and is there any horse power gain ? I'm getting ready to order my DP-tuner and was thinking of adding it .

Yes, it is orgasmic fun. In my case, literally. Copious is an understatement, considering you are just changing programming and not mechancially changing anything. I have some video clips of me rolling smoke, if you have AIM, IM me at blackcloudT444E and i will send it to you. I have them on the net but the sound and clarity sucks, the version on my computer is so much better. A Torque converter lock makes it even more fun. Next time i hit the rollers i will dyno the 80, 120, and smoke settings to see what differences there are. But it makes wet-road driving impossible, it was wet this morning and is slid the whole way to school!

It is a 140"agressive" tune. Other than the smoke output, i dont feel that much difference than the 120. When i want to go even faster i use the 120, when i want to black out the sun i use 140a. Like today, i was pulling away from a stoplight with my buddy in his "smoke-less" cummins behind me. So i slowed down in 2nd gear, tc locked. He got right up on my *** and then i let him have it. Seriously i COULD NOT see his truck in my rear view mirror, and just his mirrors and tires in the side view mirror. Im sure his engine had some EGR symptoms going on. I hit 3rd gear and then OD and rolled coal solid up this hill until i came upon a bus. EGT's rocket in that setting though.
