    OK, I see the "24v" note at the bottom of the page. Maybe you should get in touch with NASCAR and get "Smoke" to make a run for you! Surely the original truck did not smoke that much so the stock engine must have some sort of exhaust cleanup which is not needed for racing. Even so that is an amazing project and a really "quick" machine!

    All the smoke is from the engine being over fueled.
