ok I have a interesting factor to add im not 100% sure but..
Changing my fuel filter tonight, Lights beaming, so Start it up to check for leaks.. Nice looks clean every thing is good, But then I notice some smoke by the downpipe, passenger side valve cover appears to be cracked/leaking  Dubya Tee eff does that mean? Could that be my low boost, and lack of oil pressure ? definitely leaking oil, Like a blind man I missed it I feel stupid, and Ticked, I Never had this issue before my injector swap, This isn't the first time I changed my filter at night.. So tomorrow ill get the degreaser and a flashlight and find out if its really cracked or what.. But I took a video with the lights if any body is interested  One thing after another

If you're leaking enough high pressure oil to cause drivability problems, it's not going to be a seep or small leak...your truck will resemble the Exxon Valdez. Oh and "one thing after another" is just something that goes on once you start modifying things. It's just part of the game.

I have set the P1211 3 times now running on the 100HP tune. they all came under hill climb at acceleration at a mile high or higher. showing 31-34 Manifold absolute pressure. not sure what Bill has the trigger points for the code set at but it was about 61-65inHg on my AE scan. Bill I am open to ideas if you have any... Just haven't got around to looking at the issue. Cleared the codes with AE.. problem solved
 I actually missed seeing what my boost was but my gauge was showing above 20PSI when I glanced up at it... EDIT: I just remembered i wrote down the DTC results from the last occurance on my BlackBerry but didnt put down the rpm throttle data etc as i was driving at the time p1211 IMAP 64.6 hg in

basically this small crack couldn't cause much of an issue?, Besides making a mess and making me have to replace it..? sadly I was hoping this would be my main issue!  Got to Pay to Play I guess ? But come on a leaky valve cover?! here it is.. Any other way to maybe seal this? Or should I order a new gasket/cover?
