    I just replaced my heater core and my radiator and now it smokes under the hood super bad and it bogs down every time I let off the gas anyone know what could cause that?

    Welcome @JakobieB . Is it safe to say the GC didn't smoke under the hood or bog down before you replaced anything? Is anything leaking currently or leaving evaporated coolant stains or smells?

    I would check for leaks and see where the smoke is coming from, heater hoses clamped on tightly?
    As far as the bogging did you undo anything else under the hood and maybe not get it reconnected?
