More fuel. Injectors or another programmer if you want smoke. Waste of fuel though. and the truck will run hot. Towing will suck. But it looks cool, am I right?

Or you can lug it for a few hundred miles, and then GET ON IT! It should smoke some.

More smoke = more fuel = more more money = excessive engine wear from the oil being washed from the cylinders = more money to fix the premature wear on the engine. Looking cool is way overrated!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrap a plastic bag around your air filter. Just playing don't do that.

I think alot of people are trying to stray away from rolling the coal now. We all know what it does/causes to the motor. Alot of trucks now can be built to run quick in the 1/4 and hardly smoke at all.

Diesels will always smoke a little, emmisions or not. I have a buddy with a 08 PowerStroke, towing a 10k lbs load his truck will puff pretty good clouds from a dead stop if it steps on it. It's just the nature of the beast.
