It smokes for about 5 seconds before it shifts if I put it to the wood. Under normal driving it doesn't smoke. And when it does smoke it's faint not like rolling coal with a cummins or stroke. It'll smoke more probably when I put the turbo on it. But I'll have a pyrometer and boost gauge hooked up so I make sure it doesn't boost too much or get too hot. The more fuel you throw at it the higher the egts go up. High egts are not good.
