IP Question
How can you determine if your IP has been turned up. I have a Banks, so assumed it has been turned up, but the only time I get black smoke is when I have a heavy load and really get on it. It seems that I should have more power.

well unless you can get ahold of the PO ( previous owner ) and have them tell you how much it was turned up theres no way of knowing, and since it has a turbo it has to have been turned up. if you have a banks sidewinder im guessing it has been turned up about 2 flats if you can only get smoke on a pull... try and turn it up a flat if you want more smoke but that sounds about perfect

Thanks for the info. When I pull my fifth wheel, I can't hardly get it to smoke. I can only go about 55-60 down the road. It was suggested to turn the IP up, but not sure what is too much if I don't know what has been done. Should I expect more performance from a 6.9? I thougth I could go down the road a little better.

Sorry for the post. I see in a previous post you answered my question. (Guess I should read posts from old to new and that wouldn't happen) Anyway, I love my Banks and the ram air (Dave Sponagle design) made a significant difference. I was able to turn up the IP some more.
