How much will it smoke?

Want to install a VA box and Mach 1.6's. I've got an Amsoil Ea filter in the stock air box. How much smoke will I make?

Probably not too much, Mach 1.6s are very clean injectors and most VA boxes I have seen are pretty clean (depends on which one you have, there are a few)

I'm close to what you want (I have a VA and DD1s) and I don't get much. Floor it off the line and leaves what I would describe as a cloud (not a black out but it is very noticeable). On hard acceleration and once the boost is up it leaves a very light haze. The combo makes the truck very fun to drive though!! I'm still on a stock tranny so I don't want to go any higher on the hp, yet...

FYI - I ran an old style VA with 100HP (DD3) injectors that arent as clean as the M1.6's for a few years. Liked the combo alot. You do have to be conscious of smoke though. The VA can make anything smoke, but with 1.6's you will have a good running combo. You will be able to make it smoke when your not spooled up though. Also ran the VA with DD1's too. That was an excellent combo all around.
