Default B16 running rich and coolant keeps getting low.

Hi i'm running a B16a2 in a eg. Mod are skunk2 cams\skunk2 valvetrain I\h\e with cat. I'm running a Chipped p28 with skunk2 program.
At idle there's a grey smoke that comes out. When i drive around it's a lite smoke that comes out the exhaust. It's not a headgasket or burning oil I did a wet\dry compression test. They're good. But as i tell someone to rev the motor and i stand in the back of the exhaust water jsut comes out like a river. It's not a normal water that comes out it's like someones is pouring water out of the exhaust. I pulled my plugs and they're all black burt. Can anyone tell me how to fix this or what's going on? -thanks
Also i fill my coolant up to FUll in the catch tank..But when i check it it's at min again. 4 days ago it was at Full.. Anyone know what's wrong? please help

do a pressure test on your coolant system.

Check your water pump.

Water coming out an exhaust is completely normal.
