I heard that a walmart bag over the intake would work since it restricts the air to the engine. Do you think it would? Or would it mess somethin in the engine up? I'm tryin to do as little as possible mod wise because I'm giving the truck back to my dad since I'm gettin another 95 F-250.

The walmart bag idea would work, but it's more a joke if ya know what I mean. I wouldn't advise doing it. IMHO.

Its a lot less expensive to be a chip and intake them big $$ for repairs.

whats the point of black smoke without more power other than buying more fuel. only way to get power is to spend money. besideds cleaning the soot off your truck is a pia

Ditto on that 884. It's starting to get a little annoying cleaning of my back rear rim every two weeks when it's 5 degrees out.

Also, chips are removable, you can't put them in any OBS Stroker and they will work the same. But if you want to roll the coal you have to have a couple supporting mods to know/understand the engines limits.

Because I park in the junior lot in school and theres a kid with one of them tuner cars that parks next to me. He's always revn his engine actin cool and he always has his windows down. So I was gonna blow some smoke into his car next time he revs it up.
