Smoke switch will give you no benefits whatsoever. Smoke means wasted fuel, doesnt always mean power. If your getting that edge hope you have an aftermarket lift pump and if its a manual a mild built trans.

You need a programmer to do a smoke switch. Build your truck for power, smoke will follow. Any tips you may hear like unplugging map sensor, etc, are really just bad ideas.

And you should do a pusher pump before the juice if you don't have one already. Only thing worse than saving for performance parts is saving for a new vp44

EH..... Cheap and easy way.... you can even get it at wall mart. Go back to the women"s section. Ask the clerk for a pair of extra large Granny panties. now go out to your truck and open the hood. put the panties on your head. take the bag they gave you and wrap it around the air filter jump in it and go. You will look just as dumb as the cloud coming out of the pipe.....

If you just want smoke put a lift pump and injectors on it but it wont last long if you don't do what we call supporting mods bud. Like gauges intake trans build
