Default is this normal?
I just got thru making an exhaust clip of my car with my digi cam. had the camera pointed where the exhaust dumps under the car. When i watched the clip a saw a **** load of smoke white smoke when i reved to about 3.5-4k then i reved up tall and black smoke came out. I dont know if it is because i dont have cats anymore . Its long tubes into 3inch true duals 12 bullets. The car sounds amazing and runs fine. Does yalls car do this?

white cmoke is because of burning coolant

black smoke is because of running rich..which all ls1s do stock..and usualyl run richer when lts come into play.
