Wal mart bag mod comes to mind.


Seriously, you'd need a chip to elevate the fueling tables.

DP TUNER 140 smoke would do it.

Just so were clear on this, more fuel=more power= you SHOULD also consider supporting mods if you want a healthy lifespan from the truck.

The good thing is that you have an SCT and most tuners can load custom files on it. You need to have more fuel than you do air to make smoke. Thats why at higher rpms the smoke clears up because the turbo is pushing more air.

Out of curiosity, did the engine sound any quieter running with a vacuum?

Not really, it didn't last long enough to tell. We only had a couple of seconds before it started to crush the air filter.lol

Sounds like you forgot the "McDonalds soda straw mod" to go with the "wal mart bag mod". With the straw mod, the engine gets just enough air to keep running.

Seriouly thats a Joke you'll be putting out more blue and white Smoke then black. If you want to seriously put out some smoke a DP-Tuner, some good hybrid injectors and a decent turbo and you can lay some down BUT SMOKE IS NOT POWER ITS A WASTE PRODUCT

Dodges do it because they put out so much fuel most don't care enough to get enough air to clean it up. Honestly I will say this people like that are the ones that are KILLING our trucks and getting the EPA on us atleast the ones just getting diesels to blow smoke. We all do it but you have to be responsible for it.
