Diagnoses needed

I noticed today that I'm shooting loads of white smoke between shifts when I'm driving hard. (Lisa says it sounds like a male problem). Anyway, the car doesn't seem to smoke during idle or normal in gear acceleration. But between shifts, poof. Anyone know why this is?

I think it's b/c you have a 2.5l block you never put in!!
... b/c if you're running rich, you wouldn't be after the install!

Are you bringing it to SG when we weigh our cars? We could check it out then.

Indeed... the big puff is from when I pulled my handbreak... the rest is from getting back on the gas.
