    I have a problem with my truck I can't figure out what is going on .
    The problem starts when I push the accelerator pedal to the floor from a dead stop , the engine revs and smoke boils out the rear of the truck .
    I might have the tune to lean , I don't hear any knock , and doesn't get hot .
    I have read that several other people have this problem as well , wonder what they did to deal with it .
    Now what is a tune again?

    Comp Cam 54-412-11 , Int:265, 212, .522 , Exh: 271, 218, .529 , LSA 114 , Longtube , CAI (Vararam) , TransGo HD2 shift kit , tuned by me with EFILive

    defective PCV?

    Are you sure you don't have too much fuel. What color smoke, blue or grey?

    DOES YOUR TRUCK MISS WHEN THIS SMOKE COMES OUT? I WONDER IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE HEAD UNDER HARD ACCELERATION. THE PRESSURE YOUR WATER PUMP IS PUSHING AT FULL THROTTLE MAY BE PUSHING WATER OUT IN TO THE CYLINDER. THE LEAK MAY BE VERY MINOR AND NOT LEAK UNDER NORMAL DRIVING.
