WOT Smell...normal??

Ok guys, maybe this is a dumb question but I have always smelled a kinda gassy kinda sulfer like smell in the cab when I punch it with the windows down. Its very distinctive and just so you know I have checked for exhaust leaks (ive had this smell even when I had stock exhaust). Is this a valve...WTF?

same here, my theory is oil in the intake bgetting sucked in with the more PSI + more air being sucked in. but could be slippage. I hav eonly a 5lb lower

I made aq post on this a while ago. I had that smell and noticed it also when I turned on the fan. It turned out to be a loose plug! There was no exhaust leak sound. Just the smell. Changed the pulgs and noticed one plug was 90% out. After the plug change the smell went away 100%.

Not sure if this is your problem but I thought I would mention it.
