Normal? A little smoke at WOT

I don't drive it much, have a 5.0 for daily driver. I went for a little spin the other day and stopped at the store for some gas. As I pulled out from the store, I nailed it. I look in the mirror searching for the police and noticed that I just blew out a cloud of smoke. It was like a light blue smoke. The L only have 23000 miles on it and runs good. Is this normal or is something inside the L learking to come out? Your insight is welcomed.

sounds like a stock tune or a safe aftermarket tune, no problem.

As I pulled out from the store, I nailed it

If I pulled out of anywhere and nailed it I'd see nothing but Tire Smoke and a pinned tach

1. look for cops
2. pull out
3. look for cops
4. nail it!

Four types of smoke: Blue smoke for a second once start up, valve guides; Blue smoke all the time, rings; Black smoke when you get on it, too much fuel; White smoke all the time, intake sucking trans fluid and burning it; and so much more I've not yet seen...If it's inconsistant other than tire smoke, who knows. And I'm sure there are other opinions. Good Luck.
