Question Smoke help

See sig. below for truck info.
My truck will puff a small amount at low RPM,but if I "stay in it", it will smoke rather heavy above 2k. Seems to smoke more as revs increase. Truck runs very good with excellent mpg and power. I bought it with 80k miles on it and now have 155k. Maybe previous owner put sticks in???
BTW I have raced my brother ('05 2500 2wd auto) from a dead stop and stayed within a half truck length up to 85mph.

What color smoke?
This might help, if it is not affecting the ride why bother with it?
It seems you are happy about how it performs, it is also good for tailgaters.

Oh yeah, smoke is black. Motor uses about 1 qt of oil per 8k miles.

i think you need a bigger turbo see my sig , my smoke starts to go away as soon as my boost reaches 15 psi and is just gray at 40 psi
