I take it yours is an auto? If so the hy35 housing of 9cm makes it spool quick so you won't get a lot of smoke. But mine did put out a good amount. Is your pump wire tapped properly?

I think it would because you might not be fueling your injectors properly. Is your truck still running like it normaly did.

do you notice a difference from level 3 to level 5? If it's going out you may not be getting enough fuel

5x5 should be putting out some smoke....your vp might be on its final leg though....whats your fp sitting at? i know that the def. of "smoke" is relative though to some people...living a mile high, my truck smokes like a train...if i go to sea level, i get like half the smoke...when you say it isnt smoking, is it clearing up real quick or is it not even smoking from the start?
