That's the one thing I'm not liking about sidwinder. This is my first year of nitro, and the lack of smoke does keep me from leaning it out to where I probably should. Lastnight a few of us went and ran at our track, and as soon as the engine gets any decent RPMs the smoke is just gone. My temps were only right around 195, but it was running great so I didn't bother with it.
I'm use to Byrons and Amain. They both produce much more smoke then sidewinder. I will probably go back to one of them, just becasue I feel safer with my tune being able to see smoke coming out of the pipe.
