BINGO - Well said coon!

If you can blow $ on fuel @ $3.30 a gallon so you can throw black smoke all the time (not just when you "might" need it), then, well I think you just might have more $ than you can use, so please.... Send some my way!

I have to disagree with that. I'd say "More Smoke = More Wasted Fuel"

Check out the February edition of Diesel Power. Gale Banks ridiculously fast Duramax powered S-10 did (i think) 8's in the 1/4 mile with zero smoke. All his fuel got turned in to power, and here in Colorado and up in Wyoming, if you go blowing giant smoke plumes the cops can AND WILL pull you over and ticket you.

That is true that smoke is wasted fuel but in an effort to laugh at Gale Banks ( I don't need any more reasons really!) that truck has enough nitrous to get the entire country high!! thats the only way he is doing this with no smoke.
