Can't do a smoke switch on the 7.3... Sorry but it just can't happen. That's a 6.oh thing.

To answer your question, save some money, and build your truck the right way. You will need to do injectors and a chip at the bare minimum. Just chipping your truck will get you a little smoke but not enough that you will be happy cuz you can't "roll coal" all over the honda behind you.

You want smoke, put a plastic bag over the intake or put a smoke machine in the muffler.... Or buy injectors and a chip.

gurrr... You driven one of the new trucks out right now??? filled one up when its getting 13mpg...

Guess what, its guys like you that have gotten us there.

You just want to blow smoke on that hybrid don't you... but you don't understand that hybrid is being driven by a state senator, and now he is all pissed off and goes to the state level to make those dirty diesels pay...

Smoke, is dumb. There is one place for it, competition

The way to make blue smoke is install a small tank filled with motor oil. drill a hole in your exhaust manifold. Using an electric fuel pump, pump oil into the exhaust while the engine is at high RPM. It will fill the street behind you.
I've never done this myself.

I don't know what smoke you might get if you used diesel fuel?

Now there is a post to be proud of!

With a hypertech programer you are at the bottom of the barrel as far as possable power... Before we jump to injectors your going to need some supporting mods...

Gauges, Pyro, Boost and Tranny temp
Intake, AFE or something to that effect
Exhaust, 4" turbo back...

Once you get that handled you can start thinking about what HP level you want as a goal...

300hp can be done with a good TS chip, with tunes from Power Hungry Performance, Beans Diesel Performance, Swamps or otherwise.

350 can be had with a good turbo upgrade, 38R, H2e or something like that.

Once you get past that level its time for injectors...

Stage 2's will get you to 400 plus of minus 30hp depending on the size...

Hybrids can take you from 400-700+hp...

Its about money!!!

So, what do you want? Do you know?

You want thick, luscious clouds of black smoke but you want mileage. Make up your mind. Oh, and 10" lift and 37" tires while trying to get more than 13 MPG.... Not going to happen.

I think someone is just pulling our leg... why the hell would you need 10 inches of lift to clear 37 inch tires? hell I bet you could clear 53 inch tires with that lift....

why not just put a plastic bag over your air filter? a cheap way to get smoke.
