From what I have seen of my friends' cam and ORP cars, a little bit of smoke is normal.

How long since the install? It might just be the fluids and grease from your hands burning off the engine stuff, in which case, it will eventually go away.

The smoke might be because the car is rich, since it hasn't been tuned.
