cloud of smoke at full boost :P
okay.. so it was running fine yesterday.. i installed dsm 450's and smc+ last night.. i used this other dudes smc+ numbers on my car cuz he was running single cam vtec also.. it ran fine with it like that.. i bumped the smc+ up to this other dudes gsr numbers.. after i did that.. at full boost, a big cloud of whitish-grey smoke came out my exhaust.. pull over.. drop the smc+ back to where it was.. still only does it at full boost.. when it hits full boost, the a/f gauge reads hecka rich and blows out a big cloud of whitish grey smoke... so i pull into my driveway, look at my exhaust and it's puffing a lil bit of smoke.. i go back inside my car and turn the smc+ at idle down to -33%... it stops smoking.. so wassup? hehe.. my car kinda eats a lil bit of oil.. so i was kinda thinking a mix of richness with a lil burning oil... 
my car has always smoked a lil when at full throttle...

::sigh:: I knew this was gonna happen....
Check your plugs, and what color is the smoke? If its white your basically screwed, if its black, your just running rich as *****, which isen't really happy either.

Do a leakdown test, NOT A COMPRESSION TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!
You will get REAL answers then on whats wrong with your motor......... head my advice.
