BIG smoke...injectors

Yup Chip would be your best bet right now. My truck could black out the road got tired of after awhile though.

Black smoke just means you arent burning your fuel efficiently... Put a bag over your intake then you will blow black smoke but also wont make any power ether.

A good chip would be the best thing you can do. There are lots of great custom tuners out there. I like Matt at Gearhead Automotive

Go to Powerhungryperformance.com and buy the f.u. Chip (fully updatable) You will jave over 15 custom tunes to choose and a 6 position chip you can change tunes any time you want with a labtop. They have a smoke show tune.
