1.) white smoke is burning oil
a.) on acceleration is worn piston rings
b.) on decel is worn valve guides
2.)black smoke is too much gas for the air- "too rich" a mixture
white smoke says you are burning oil and have a mechanical problem which the tuner cannot remedy.
It "may" have played a part in this problem but unlikely.
and as you already know this is in the rear cylinder ( left side smoke)
*** possible that the installer mis installed the new air cleaner blocking the banjo bolt passage from the heads or rear head to the breather, causing oil to collect under the valve cover and pushing past the seals

Thanks all!!!!
I took off the screamin eagle breather and put back the 360 K&N filter Rinehart originally put on with the pipe change. My bitch is running great! No over heating, singing like a MF. Is it safe to assume for that screamin eagle breather (elbow) other mods have to take place? On the highway she would sing with the screamin, but in the city sucking wind blowing white smoke. Looks like I'll be posting a screamin eagle heavy breather on eBay, she's runnin to good.
