ROTFLMAO, you need to tell THESE PEOPLE that they are doing it all wrong. Tell them to turn there pump down because in your words "unburned fuel doesn't make power." "It just makes smoke." :R
Here is a PRO STOCK TRACTOR that needs some tuning tips.
I used to race THIS TRUCK all the time. You need to come over here and tell Brad that un-burnt fuel does not make power. If you could tell him how to keep the same power level, I'm sure he would love some tuning tips to save on the fuel bill. :S
The unburned fuel causing the smoke is helping cool the engine, not making power.
Oh brother. :R
Lets try this. Put an EGT on a diesel and then start throwing fuel at it. According to you, the EGT should go down because "unburned fuel causing the smoke is helping cool the engine." :S Lets see how that works out. :S
Turtle, your arguing for the sake of arguing. What is your point? Obviously you know that fuel requires air in order to burn and more air allows for more fuel which yields more power. You can dump all the fuel you want into a 2 liter naturally aspirated diesel and there is no way you're going to get 600 hp out of it. When you care nothing about efficiency, as in a racing application, you will run at a lot higher fuel/air ratio which will produce smoke. So, yes, taking a road vehicle to the track and injecting more fuel without being overly concerned about more air will yield more power to a point but so what? Back on the road the fuel economy will drop to nonexistent, the DEF will plug solid and then what? The point is if you want more torque out of a diesel TV you need more air/revolution to allow for more fuel/revolution. Turbos accomplish that.
