Default running rich?

well i don't feel a power difference but i do notice white smoke coming out of my tailpipe when i shut the car off after a hard pull gettin onto an onramp or somethin and sometimes when the car is warming up it does it as well and it isnt cold outside so that's not it... it's a pretty thin white smoke i think i'm running rich n a good tune would fix my problem but what do you guys think?

White smoke is either condensation or a leaking headgasket (coolant burning off). If you experience it allot, its a redflag for a headgasket which is leaking. Look into replacing it asap if that is the case.
