Need your Advice/Help

I have a highschool prom to go to and I would like to be able to let out a rather large sized, head turning smoke cloud. this would only be a one night thing(fuel prices) so I would need to be able to put the pump back to my stock position. What do you guys think would be my best move without spending any money?
Thanks!
Wheelo

Smoke screw all the way down, starwheel down, fuel pin turned or grind, full P screw as far as possible w/out runaway, and take off a turbo boot clamp LOL! J/K about the clamp, although it would allow for a heck of a cloud.

Pile of old tires on fire in the bed should do it.

ha ha, always got to show off for the ladys hey, the best way is to pull the pump top off and remove the afc lever proporly so you can put it back on, and if you have the stock turbo it should blow some good smoke, with the fuel screw in max, expesialy when your doing a burn out of pulling hard out of the parking lot all they will see is black, hahaahaaahaaaahaaaaaaaaaa

Take the AFC spring out. Put it back when you're done playing.

His are plastic. Make sure you check for free throttle lever motion when you put the TPS back on, if you don't get it lined up right it can make the throttle hang up.

took it out!
Smokes some more, what are the odds of damaging the head gasket, should I worry much about it?
