smoke after tune??
smoke after tune?? i didnt know where exactly to post, but i thought you advance guys would be able to help me out. I also tried to search but didnt find much.
Anyways, after i got my car tuned 3 day ago, its been kicking out kinda white smoke. Not totally white like a head gasket, but like its burning oil? Car runs great and all the oil/temp gauges are holding its own.
It doesnt really do it on cold start ups in the morning. Now if i drive the car alot that day and sometimes get on it then come to a stop and idle, a little bit of smoke will be coming out the pipes. It also smells a little rich at idle, but my tuner nailed the air/fuel to a 12.5 all across the rpm's.
Now i didnt know with the big cam that im losing vaccum and i need to do something with my crankcase ventalation? Something like a vaccum canister or a catch can? Like i said, car drives great, just at times smoke will come out the rear and i always get worried!! please any help i would appreciate. thanks!
p.s. I have access to a Tech2 (scanner) at work so if there is anything i need to check with that, let me know

After my dyno tune runs, I had white smoke coming out as well.
Even here and there at WOT on the street I'll see a little smoke. I'm pretty sure its the oil making getting into the intake manifold. I need to get a catchcan too cause I think I'm experiencing the same thing as you.
My buddy has a catch can and its surpising how much oil it actually stops from going into the intake manifold.

It could be oil being sucked in from your intake and burning after wot runs. I like to use exhaust seals instead of intake seals. They work better under higher heat situations. If the tune is spot on then i would start lookin elsewhere.
i would try a catch can and see what that does.
What color is your smoke?

yeah im thinking of trying a catch can first. The smoke didnt happen that much today, if any at all. I guess when i do really warm it up or get on it, it happens.
The smoke is almost clear but looks like a slight tint of blue. When you try to smell it, smells like fuel?
So if i try that catch can, where can i buy a setup like that? I seen one on WS6store.com and dont know where else?
