Am I burning up???

[Bowlegz]

Guys, as you all know I am a rookie in the Lightning game so here goes, when I stomp down on the gas ( Like I always seem to do ) I smell something burning coming from the exhaust. This only happens at wot! Now last week I poured a bottle of seafoam into the gas tank, could it just be that I'm burning carbon deposits, or trash out of the system. Should I be worried? Am I burning up the truck? :burn:

Just the cats bro. They always stink. Stink more when you go to highflows. Even worse when you get rid of them all together.

Does it smell like burning oil? If so, you may have the Ford head gasket weepage "mod." Basically, faulty head gaskets allow for a small amount of oil to pass the gasket surface. The drivers side will collect in the timing chain cover, but the passenger side drips on the manifold/header and burns off. According to Ford its not detrimental to performance or longevity of the motor. Its not too uncommon, if this is what your experiencing.
