Default running RICH

i have a jdm b18c in my 99 ek. it has itr intake/exhaust manifolds, rc310 injectors, jhp muggen chipped p28, honda access ek sport exhaust, vafc, and a cai. now when i really jam on my car, mostly at vtec x-over through my next up shift, there is a credible amount of smoke, it is a bluish gray hue. Im hoping this is just from running rich, with the bigger injectors, and the ecu, which is programed to run rich. anyone with a similar setup have this problem? thanks in advance for any help.

I could be wrong, but I thought you could set air/fuel with the vafc, so modify the settings if its running rich.
