I think you need to drive that sucker a good couple of gas tanks, (keep the MMO in the gas tank too) and give it a chance to settle down.
If that's all the worse it smokes on warm up what's the problem? You live in a snooty community or something? ohwell
Show us a video looking out the back window as you run it up through the gears on the road, then maybe that will show something scary or more indicative of the problem. pix

Haha! No snooty neighborhood here. People on my block know me as the guy always messing with something on the truck or one of my cars.

Three more videos.
First is after a 5 minute drive.


Second is holding RPMs steady at normal driving RPMs.


Just a few seconds under the hood.
