Tuned trucks will do that and it will be even more pronounced on a manual because the boost drops between shifts and you're back on the skinny pedal and (over) fueling it. I'm not sure what a substantial "puff" is; are we talking solar eclipse or a haze? I run both Innovative and Gearhead tunes (SCT LW) on my truck and the IDP tunes will overfuel and can be seen from space if I get on it just right (meaning WRONG) while the Gearhead tunes will barely haze under WOT. A lot of it is in the tuning and it sounds like you're trying to work around it; I'd reach out to H&S directly, or worse case scenario, ditch it and get a SCT with Gearhead tunes...

Not the best answer I know, but hope it helps!

Question State Inspection Texas

Okay, sorry if this has been asked/answered a couple of hundred times. If I eliminate the DPF with afternmarket muffler & tuner, will I still be able to pass state inspection in Texas?

I am out of warranty and do not care what the dealer may think.

Thanks!

Yes. There is no emissions testing on diesels in Texas. I have no EGRs or DPF/DOC and it's just roll in, safety check, pay $14.50, get a sticker and roll out.

Glad to live in the promise land were I can do what I want with my truck and carry my gun...

Of course you could live in georgia where we don't have to do that $14.50 thing either. In fact, we don't even require seat belt use in pick up trucks. You know, ya gotta keep getting out and opening the gates.

just for a sec. Do you know how to disable the seat belt alarm chime? I usually have my seat belt, but when I'm out at the ranch I have to resort to just connecting the seatbelt behind my back.

I agree that it is necessary on a Dbag hybrid purposely going slower than the speed limit thinking that you will save fuel too by them doing this. Yes, I live in WA and they do this on purpose all of the time.
What H&S tuner are you running and how are you adjusting your fuel flow?
