plastic bag over the air filter that will restrict your airflow and cause you to have black smoke......

.......build your truck for power and the smoke will come......

All smoke is, is fuel that you don't have enough air to burn. So anything you can do to add excess fuel and restrict air intake will produce smoke, waste fuel, clog sensors and wash out cylinder walls.

Bubba is exactly correct, along with the fact that almost everyone will think you have a half broken down POS that smokes.

Is that really the image that you want to bring on yourself, much less make it harder with EPA restrictions?

Well, all people are doing when they billow black smoke out the *** end of the truck is

1) **** off other drivers
2) **** the EPA off
3) waste fuel in turn to
4) waste a lot of money
5) damage the engine from excess soot

I thought it was cool for a couple days, THEN I GREW UP and STOPPED doing it.
