how do you know its running rich? do you have a wideband, i thought white smoke was usually water so maybe you have a beat head or intake gasket

The tuner did a compression test and it was good. dont think i have any problems there. just talked to him yesterday too and he said my retard is built into my program so i should be good there. i do need to buy a fuel pressure regulator though it might just work out better for me that way. reason why i thought i was running rich is cause i can smell it real bad. my wife everytime she drives behind me she says everytime i stomp on it blows white smoke from the exhaust. my boss told me the same. also when i go to the track i cant put the pedal through the radiator have to go half way if not it bogs at around 5k rpm and struggles to get to 5500rpm. my base timing was set at 10deg but when i put it on 8deg seems to do alot better and can power shift at around 5500 or 6000rpm if not a little more sometimes if its cool. i got 42lb injectors too that could also have a factor with my setup and im only boosting 8psi. maybe if i boosted more like around 12-15 give or take maybe the injectors i have would not be so much. i know alot of guys with my same setup running 30lbs and they run perfect at 8psi - 10psi of boost. i'm planning on boosting more in a couple weeks either way so once i do i'll get it re-tuned again and go from there. I will also buy the fuel pressure reg so that they can adjust fuel for the tune also. I dont know how i got tuned without it but my tuner told me i didnt need to get a regulator that the stock one was suffice. we'll see what happens in a couple weeks.

You could have 60lbers on the same low 8psi, it's all accounted for in the tune. Your not using boost to lean it out. The tuner uses his skills that you paid him for to do so in the tune, which he didn't clearly. You have a good plan so stick with it. White smoke is usually completely unburnt gas coming out almost as liquid through the tail pipes. Coolant comes out white as well, but you should be able to tell the difference. If it's gas it will straight reek.
