Is it normal for a firebird to have a little tail smoke at 4000 rpms and up?

if its running properly, burning most or all the gas in the combustion chambers, i see no reason it should have ne smoke after the car has warmed up.-RJ \"Like trail mix I\'m a lil sweet but mostly nutty\"<br />Metallic Blue 2001 3.8 Firebird M5<br />FRA,Smoothed Air lid, Homedepot Intake, K&N Air Filter, MSD Coils & Plug wires, Iridium Plugs, Flash Tune, 2.5 Flowmaster Catback. -
does the "smoke" have a distinct blue (oil) black (unburned fuel) or white (coolant) hue to it? If so it's not normal.
Otherwise, I'd chalk it up to cooler weather.2011 Camaro LS 6M, in black.Comment

it is a grayish white color that only comes out when i am above 4000 rpms. I knowticed it on a cold morning so that may be the reason. I will rev it on a warmer day. What should i do if the gray smoke is not from the colder weather?

Make sure it's actually smoke and not steam. Steam is normal and will dissapate, smoke will not.2002 Silver Firebird A4<br />T-Tops, Leather, Y87, W68, Chrome Wheels<br />Bone StockComment

Okay, then it is steam because it gets up to my spoiler and it disappears.<b><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2288859\" target=\"_blank\">1999 Mustang GT(Car Domain)</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2123740\" target=\"_blank\">1998 Pontiac Firebird(Car Domain) *SOLD*</a></b> <br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.camarov6.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=9;t=000902\" target=\"_blank\"><b>PA</b> - Maple Grove Test\'N\'Tune <i>April 15th</i></a>Comment

Steam forms on cold mornings and when your car is cold. a little repspiration happens at the end of your pipe and does it until the inside and the outside temperature evens out, sort of like the windshieldSelling My Car for cheap. <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/854331/2\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/854331/2</a>Comment
