white smoke is burning coolant. Do a compression test, your headgasket might be bad.

Well, since you havent even told us what your fuel pressure is set at it might be hard to answer that question. I could probally tell you right now its not. You need to get your car tuned, I guess. White smoke is still burning coolant, it doesnt matter what your fuel pressure is set at it wont blow white smoke if its rich.

FYI

Head gaskets going usually dont leak a DROP on the outside, usually blows on the inside and burns off coolant in the motor (aka white smoke) And its an auto, You cant get too high in RPMs

I have no idea by just what you tell me on the internet. You need to do a compression test like I stated in my first post. Until then you really arent going to be able to tell. You could check to see the color of your oil. but a compression test will give you a better idea.

No but when your at 6 grand your probably moving, and the smoke wouldnt be as noticible, Check your oil and see what it looks like, check your coolant also, see if thats low too
