Default 24 Valve Rough Idle/miss

To start this off my pickup is a 1999 2500 24v, has 175hp injectors, Raptor LP, Headstuds, 110lbs Valvesprings, 2 year olds Vp44, 5" straight pipe,edge Drag comp programmer, southbend clutch, and thats all i can think of at the moment. Last Sunday i was on a trip home (100 mile roundtrip) and 10 miles from town my pickup started acting funny. Like a miss/pop. Boosted when i put the pedal down but popped and smoked gray. I went slow and took gravel to get home and by the time i got to town it idled rough and smoked like a freight train. Im thinking injectors but i really Would like some input! 142,000 miles, and was running great. The problem happened at 70 mph just cruising down the highway. Any Help would be appreciated! thankyou.

possibly a cracked injector or two, improper pop pressures, or an IP going bad...

24 Valve.It does not smoke any(except for morning starts&even then not much white smoke)and today drove to local Wal-Mart(2 get some 2-cycle oil)and it took 3 times to start(has always started 1st crank)after about 30 minutes waiting.Could it possibly be Head Gasket?My temp gauge has never been past 200.I need some help!
