Unplugging your MAP sensor!
When my MAP died it gave like NO fuel! No fuel - no smoke. Good fuel mileage though!

I never heard of it either... Perhaps it IS something like that so if a cop sees you in some liberal tree hugger state?

I head of a smoke switch but that will get you flamed on here! haha

its not because of Environmental concerns that will get you flamed, its because smoke switches trick your map sensor and computer into dumping max fuel by tricking the ECM into thinking you hav full boost when you dont actually have it. While fun, itll actually fry your ECM over time and can damage any boxes you may have on your truck. It can also take out your map sensor and some have reported the electronics in the VP44 frying after installing this switch. This is why most people on here hate hearing any questions about it. And im one of those that cringe at the thought of putting one on, trust me, from experience, smoke switches are junk and ill-advised. Some may have the potential hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to replace the stuff it fries, but i dont . hope that helps
