if it was just white smoke you were probably running lean, but that's just a possibility. If you plan on doing that often, you might want to invest in some sort of fuel controller(Apexi S-AFC, Fields,etc..), just to make sure the engine is getting proper amount of fuel for each gear.

well it was a bluish colored smoke i think. it was dark not white, but i have dark tinted windows and was watching the road. i have a fuel pressure regulator on the car too. so dark blue smoke is what i think it was.

sounds like your rings...do a compression test to be sure of the cause.
