Smokin' is only used by me for VERY special occasions.
And I agree, that smokin' everything that moves WILL bring down the Heavy Hand of the EPA on our lil 6 cylinder oil burners.

I've had plenty of good oppurtunities for smoke, but stock trucks don't make much.

A pretty good haze, not a real smoke cloud though.

What screw do I have to turn again?

That is what irritates me about these ignorant idiots, "tree huggers" and "hippies", if you will. these same people will p**s and moan about us and our "inefficient and dirty" trucks, and yet most of them are the ones driving around in 1992 astro vans with no muffler, extremely underinflated tires, a billion miles on the odo and never once the thought of changing the plugs, wires or air filter. And here we are, taking good care of our monsters, and pound for pound, pulling better mileage than they could ever dream of. SMOKE'EM IF YA GOT'EM, BOYS!!!

I use smoke to save lives. A lot of local kids have crotch rockets here and they love to tailgate. It's really not safe for them to tailgate any vehicle, so I kindly teach them to back off and keep a safe distance between them and the vehicle in front of them.
Dual pipes rule. If I only had one pipe, I wouldn't be as effective in my campaign for motorcycle safety.

No need to smoke them even if they are stupid kids on sportsbikes. On the road the truck always wins against the bike.

On the track it might be a different story

I like to use mine to warn other wannabees, You don't want a piece of this.
The smoke thing is kind of a respect thing.

The other day me, my roomate, and my girlfriend were going home and a highschool kid in a mustang(ford ) was pulling up next to us and the speeding ahead. He did this a few times. I told my buddy to turn up his attitude to 5 and smoke him out. Our friends were following us and said we got him right in his open window. They said he laughed so everone thought it was funny

I use it when needed to correct bad driving habits or junior in his 1500.00 Uncle Bens special with the 3000.00 stereo. I did get the missus pretty bad one day on the way home from work. She was following me down our road and got right up behind the truck. I ran the box up to 9 and let the truck bog up the hill in front of the house. She came out of the cloud with the lights on. And I heard all about it when I got to the house.

MColeman....if I did that to the wife, sure I would laugh at the moment, but I'd never be "allowed" to buy anything but oil, fuel, and wiper blades for the truck again.
