Default Not blowing much smoke

I have an early 04 2500 heavy duty dodge ram. I have an Xzillaraider 2 from quadzilla. I have the smoke out download on it. Im not blowing much smoke at all, in fact I think it blew more smoke with the standard setting. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Don't get me wrong....I dont have a diesel and I do LOVE seeing those big old Cummins spool up on youtube, dumping black smoke everywhere but.....on a daily driver......isn't black smoke like seeing dollar bills flying out of your tailpipe in these poor economic times??
It's OK if you can afford it but, I don't think many can lol.
BTW Good luck on your question......free bump.

Moved this over to the diesel section for ya.
Black smoke is unburnt fuel out the tailpipe. More than you would think too.

Get a smarty TNT tuner if you want to see smoke but if your running just a programmer/chip get a different lift pump like a fass or air dog..

Yup...you can ask for all the smoke you want but until your hardware can give the smoke, you won't see much. You'll need to upgrade the lift pump like texas said to a fass or air dog (i went with airdog II raptor with less than 1 hour install).
