Hi there,
A tune is always a good idea, what oil are you using? for your car you can use a mineral oil, you can try a 20W-50 this may help the smoking issue.

all u have to do is use chevron with techron gasoline (regular is ok) and add techson fuel additive for a quick response, is what i did and in a matter of a few miles the hesitation was gone......... ram
