Default Lots of smoke on start up...

I put longtubes on the truck about a month ago..from what i remember hearing from justin he said something about not letting it idle too long since i removed the EGR and am waiting for the retune..well tonight i let it run for about half hour in the driveway to try to find an oil leak...shut it off, started it up and there was white smoke everywhere, and smelled like straig oil/gas...ive never seen white smoke smell like that before..is this because of the EGR removal and no cats? never seen it besides today when i let it idle.

seems like it loaded up with fuel since the tune isnt right
Drive it around it should burn off all excess fuel and clear up until the next time it sits and idles for a long period of time

its what i was thinking..i was just a bit freaked out..my mom was watering plants and asked if i just blew the truck up lol...

it just scared me since ive been leaking a bit of oil and i have a knock (i think..sounds like piston slap, but all the time at idle...)

I think the EGR disables above 5mph.
