It could just running a little rich, especially with those mods. You may want to check the compression with a test and see if there is any mayo in the oil. That's the only thing that comes to mind when I think of smoke out of an exhaust.

It's really hard to tell from the looks of it. 1. I see white smoke with a little bit of gray in there which means that it is running rich. 2. It could be burning coolant which is bad!
Looks like it was started cold too. I definitely would have it checked out before I bought it. |

Get a compression test on your engine asap, and post up the results.
