Slight haze at idle?

So today I noticed that my truck has a slight haze at idle which I thought was odd considering I only have Mach 1.5 injectors with the smarty on 9...the drag comp isn't even on the truck right now. Is this normal on our trucks? If not then that might be a possible explanation as to why I'm getting a whopping 13 mpg right now..

My truck hazes at idle. If you catch the light just right on some trucks you can seea very slight haze. Gotta be perfect though. Dunno why your truck is hazing though.

yea that's what I was wondering. It's not bad, I was inside 7-11 and looked out and noticed a solid haze coming out the tail-pipe which I have never noticed before. Figured my injectors weren't large enough to do that so I didn't know if others with similar setups noticed this...plus I'm trying to figure out my wicked awesome fuel mileage...

Try turning the smarty down?? Cleaning the IAT and MAP sensors.

cleaned the IAT 15,000 or so ago. What is there to clean on the map, just the connector? Not gonna replace them cuz it's not throwing a code and I don't have an exhaust brake to affect the IAT...You decide to replace your VP yet?

What color is the haze? Mine is typically light blue.

Yep, haze here also. Much more noticeable on a hot, summer day.
