Default is this common

Whenever I'm behind another gto and they give it gas it smokes. And some one told me today that when I romped on it I was laying down a cloud myself. Could this have to do with having headers?

Depends what color the smoke is.

It could be something as simple as the car being ridiculously rich (since you dont have a tune)

Or a HUGE list of other possible problems.
Mine used to smoke a little before the cam install. The valve seals were a little shot. Not a detrimental problem, but it did smoke.

Yeah I had my 05 M6 tuned not too long ago. I watched the baseline run and it did throw a small cloud. After the tune it didn't do it anymore.
