Hey OR335d... moving back to OR and have a question about the emissions. Any chance I can get in touch with you?

My experience with JR 2.8 tune (my modifications are in my signature block):

1/4 mile ET is 12.7s
Smoke is manageable Have had some fuel that smokes more than others, but additive gets rid of it. Chevron or Shell diesel generally have very little smoke.
311 hp --from average of multiple runs using Torque app and others.

Subjective driving feel impression: won't accelerate hard until 2400 rpm's no matter which shifting program I've tried. (Vacuum controls for turbos check out good). Peak power is around 4050 rpm's.

It's disappointing and slow. My useful power band is only 1600 rpm wide. There has to be something better, but I've spent a ton on this and can't justify throwing another $2100 for someone else's stage 3 tune.
