yea that would be the reason. if the cam has a diffrent lift and whatnot the ecu still sends fuel like it would be the stock cam, and the gas comes out burnt up as smoke

that MIGHT be the reason. if i were you kuwait...i'd go in the 4th gen section under LS1 and ask this question there...there are more knowledgeable people in that section that is specific LS1 that will be better equipped to answer
