I don't see any mention of a aftermarket lift pump. I would spend money there first then add power later or them new vp's will hurt

Im buying a raptor pump this week, so i will have the fuel covered, My only concern with buying 100hp sticks is the possibility of excessive smoke while driving, do the 100 sticks make the truck smoke alot under acceleration?? Im not really into "rolling coal" i would rather make more power and not smoke the town out while im towing my 8k trailer.

All depends how you drive. Regulate your right foot, and you'll be fine. I have 150's and drive around daily with no smoke.

It won't be a thick cloud left behind, but maybe a haze.

Low rpm, low boost be only time you will see smoke. Higher rpm higher boost, the stock turbo will clean 100's up good
