please help!! still having low pressure problem!!

ok here's the run down.
when I installed my dp tuner I had lots of black smoke in every tune and come to find out my hpop pressures are running 1700 at the most in the race tune, here is what I did, rebuilt the IPR, swapped ICP with one I believe to be good, and finally.......today I installed a nice shiny new modded 17* hpop from T.E. the install wasn't too bad but my pressure still won't break 1700 and there is still lots of smoke!! Please help me out, I just spent $$$ to try and help my truck and still no success. I don't have a good way to get it scanned so is there a good way to eliminate the ICP??? is there another sensor I am missing?? I am just so frustrated.............

Does it start & run OK ( Warm ). Does it miss at Idle when warm ?..Are you using a gauge plumed into the system to measure ICP ?...

Hey glad you got your TE pump. I sent you a PM
Anyway have you seen any difference at all with your pressures since you installed the pump? How about how quickly the pressures jump up?
What is your Duty Cycle% and what does it max out at, if it does?

What are you using to read these numbers as well? Just curious. I have AE so if I can help just let me know.

I would contact Joey and Jody about these issues. Jody can tell you what he did with the tunes and the limits put on them.
Have you tried this in other settings? Did you get the same results?

Lots of questions, sorry.

Gimme a shout if I can help.
