Ok, seriously....

The more particulate that comes from the pipe due to more fuel (power programmer/chip), the more soot and discoloration on the side of the rig. As long as the smoke's not some other color besides black, have fun running it. Or put stacks on........

Oh, and the additive shouldn't have much affect on things.
