Default How much smoke is normal

When I run my JDM B16 to 7-8k it starts to smoke how I have been told by a few people that they smoke a little bit at high rpms. How much smoke is normal?

No it's not "pretty normal" at all.
No one expects a spectrum of smoke at high rpms. It may be minor, but it varies on what color like the previous poster said:

White = H20 as in coolant is being burned.
Black = Gasoline.

no amount of smoke is good. find out what color it is and take it from there. until then dont take it up that high.
