Default Smoke from exhaust after rev
Do your guy's cars smoke after revving it up? I had my friend rev up my car and just a puff of black smoke came out. (just for a second after the highest rpm).

if it's black smoke I don't think there is reason. I think it's because it's running a little rich maybe????????

Someone back me up or tell me i'm wrong!

Black smoke are hydrocarbons that are going through the exhaust unburnt. Get a tune...
