Black smoke just equals wasted horsepower. It's just unburned fuel...

Banks is one of the few/only company all about no smoke
and if it is wasted HP, then why do the 99% of the diesel dragsters pour smoke down the track?

I'm not a fan of smoking out the highway or anything but nothing wrong with too much fuel on the drag strip, unless you smoke out the lights. |

Normally when you see a full bodied diesel truck going down the dragstrip without smoking it is because of the use of Nitrous. And going back to the person who made the comment about not being a grocery getter, or being able to do anything besides go down the track i would like to point out that yes there are some track only trucks, but alot of these guys that are running 11's, and even 10's in the 1/4 mile are driving these trucks daily. Right now one of the quickest fords running (the canadian truck) is a 4door short bed 4x4 that runs 10.56's. After the weekend is up the guy puts a set of different injectors in the truck, and drives it daily. With his daily driven tunes its still a 600hp plus diesel. Alot of these trucks are also on stock headgaskets with head studs only. You would be surprised what these trucks can do, if you would look someplace else than a 4x4 forum for information on diesel performance.
and yes tons of black smoke is dumb and a huge waste unless its got a purpose. such as racing. And here is a link to a thread similar to this one. Its got a shit ton of dumb stacks in it. http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/...ght=rediculous |

No, its more like wasted diesel, not wasted hp, having smoke isnt gonna affect the hp, well if it smoke way too much you can "put the fire out" in the cylinders. other then that you have to get lots more fuel and air to get higher hp numbers

No new pics, but I didn't almost wreck my work truck yesterday, trying to get a pic of another diesel ricer. Some high school kid with a single stack that had to be at least 8 inches in diameter and not quite centered, but not quite on the side of the bed area.
It smoked like he was burning mattresses under the hood for power.

Thanks for being an asshole. It's because of assholes like you and your attitude towards CARB and your self-righteous opinion that you should be able to do whatever the fuck you want that I have to now smog my diesel truck. It's also because of assholes like you that the push to "crack down" on diesel truck emissions is nation wide. Bottom line is that if less assholes like you were out "rolling coal" on the street there would be far less attention and push to force the light duty diesel truck world into a hippie, tree hugging, irrational, cage of emissions compliance.
I don't have a problem with a little smoke, even from a turned up diesel, especially when under a really heavy load. I don't have a problem with a lot of smoke on the track, though I do think it creates a bad image and a lot of the smoke is completely unnecessary and due mostly to laziness or incompetence. What I do have a problem with is assholes who think thumbing their nose at the CARB and EPA is going to do anything other than push them into making everyone's life a lot more difficult. So to those of you who intentionally "roll coal" at every opportunity because you think you are cool or are trying to make a statement I say FUCK YOU!
