I will try that tonight when I get on the feeder. I honestly baby the throttle to save on gas.

Before I put my chip in and new exhaust, I would notice very little smoke. If I left work and babied the go pedal and then when entering the freeway stood on the go pedal. Black smoke would come out for a few seconds. But now I can switch it to 140HP and lay into the go pedal really easy and make the car behind me disappear.:sweet

last night I smashed on it a few times from a stop, and kept it at high rpm and 30psi get on the highway til I hit 75. this morning did not really notice any black smoke. I think it might have just been build up. my typical drive to work includes 10min on the highway, then 45 minutes cruising around 55-60, never accelerating that much. So I could so how some build would occur.

Just got my programmer and ran the diagnostics and there were no codes. I guess I will mess with the EGR and see if that stops the smoke.
