If it's stock you probably won't hear it, and if it pulled up to 6K rpm without any difficulty then it probably is working fine.

White smoke is coolant. White smoke is bad. Very bad.

Blue smoke is oil.

Black smoke is fuel.

When your car is in vtec it will be running rich and this means more smoke than normal. If it wasn't a ridiculous amount of smoke then you're fine.
