white smoke with mach 7's

i put mach 7's in my dads truck and started her up today. at first there was a lot of white smoke wich i assume was normal because i took a little to get her started however i noticed that there is a litte bit of white smoke at idle with these injectore. even with the engine warm. is this normal for these injectors?

I didn't know that anybody was running these injectors. You'll have to ask don m but I'm pretty sure that with something that size your going to see a light haze at idle.

7's are a pretty much race-only injector. I saw white smoke with Mach 6's when the weather was cooler than 55F. It didn't seem to matter if the truck was warm or not.

Mine will smoke a little light blue/white if the engine is cold. Once warmed up mine no longer put out visible smoke at idle. Tim

M7s are NOT designed to perform best at idle. They designed for big yo-daddy HP.

The fact that they ONLY haze that much is that amazing.

If you want surgical clean, you need to drop down to M2s.

Where in the world did you get 7's?

I hope you did not get sold something marked 7 that was something else.

I did not think anyone had them in stock. I was trying to recall where and who had them lately.

In a few cases ( rarely ) people have been trying to sell fake ones. Source Auto is straight up though.
