diesel smoke

anybody know any good tricks to to up the fuel pressure to give her more power and make a little smoke my friend has the same truck less mileage than mine and he stomps on it and leaves me in a cloud of black soot i just want to get him back but don t have the money for a chip or programer i bought a dfuzer its suppose to raise the control pressure a little but i don ' t think it works because it says if you turn it up it will cause the cel or engine light to come on and i have yet to see it come on neither one of us has any mods other than exhaust i have a k/n filter thats it any ideas

Dump the K&N and get a 6637 from NAPA. You can up the fuel pressure by shimming the regulator with a BB and then do a c00nhunterjoe 14.4k mod. That will blow smoke and give you power. I don't really upping the FP gives you much power if any but it is still a good idea. Just keep it under 80 psi.

I would disagree, if all he wants is smoke then just tape off half of your K&N with duct tape. Smoke is unburned fuel. Meaning his fuel to air ratio will be higher. MORE smoke.
Just kidding of course.
