OK, I installed the Juice and I love it. I am no diesel genius by any stretch. A couple of the settings that I do not under stand and maybe you guys can enlighten me. First off what is the deal with the setting for more smoke or less smoke. Other than the amount of smoke from the pipe what effect does this have on performance? My next question would be, with a 4" exhaust waht would be a good max EGT to set?

More smoke means it's dumping more fuel in and it is unburned fuel resulting in smoke. This probably causes the EGTs to rise dramatically.
Max EGT would be 1250 in my opinion anthough some guys have talked about running higher...your gambling with big $$ and damage if you get er too hot.

CHenry my thoughts exactly and I have my EGT set at 1250 now. So more smoke is just for show I guess.
I was pulling my goose neck with backhoe to the ranch a couple of weeks ago and my EGT hit the 1250 mark a couple of times.

I think you can hit 1250 and hold it for several second without damage like pulling a grade but i wouldn't go higher like 1300 for more than a second or two.
