If it is stock you need to put a fuel plate in it. Takes about an hour. Hour and a half if your super carefull like me. Look in the want adds section of the TDR website and you will find what you need. :-laf

david i was wondering what number plate i should be lookin for??

If you have an Auto. I would use a #6 or #8. If its a Manual #11 would be a good choice or a #10 if your careful. Regardless get Pyrometer to watch EGT's. :-laf

for starters, and on the cheap, bump your stock fuel plate full forward and crank the star wheel about 15 or so clicks forward (away from cab). You'll get some smoke then, but not tons. For a lot of smoke, go with a new fuel plate, like 11 or 10 and then get ready.
Smoking costs money. Both at the filling station and under the hood. When/if you go with a new plate, you'll want gauges to know what you are doing e. g. running too hot... So, becareful of what you do, it can be a neverending process (so I'm told)...

Slide the AFC housing forward for more smoke and you can slide your stock plate too. Keep boost under 30-35psi and the pyro under 1200.
