white smoke, random misfire?! no chk lights
Yesterday, some buds and I went out and they said they could see clearish white smoke coming from my tailpipes while I hammered it. I also have noticed that I have random misfires throughout all cylinders when I hook up the diablo tuner. It also has a 11% long term fuel trim and idles not really ruff but, its not smooth. Despite all this, it runs great very strong especially up top. Mods are listed below. Any Ideas?

white smoke = oil
When you nail the gas, oil will usually come through bad valve seals or bad rings. To have all of them misfiring though, thats unusual.
Unless you have a serious PCV oil issue where its dumping into the intake. I'd take the PCV oil return to the intake (right side bottom just after the TB) completely off and plug the port on the intake where the oil goes in. Go do a hard run and see if it happens. You can rule that out pretty quick at least.

You dont think I might be running a bit lean? White smoke can be cause from that as well? I changed the oil every 3-5K miles I run amsoil 5-30w and between changes I never add any oil.

Not saying this is what happened, I just know white smoke when the pdeal is hammered is oil.
Is it a long trail of smoke?
