Default Smoking when cold

So i've noticed that in the mornings when I'm trying to get ahead of traffic that if I floor it, it bogs down hardcore and dumps out smoke from my exhaust. Once it warms up, it doesn't have the bogging problems, but it will still smoke a bit. I did a plugs and wires before my plenum fix, and cap and rotor after, so i'm thinking my plugs might be bad? Haven't had enough time this week to really check it out. Any help is appreciated!

Normal condensation I'll bet. What color do you think it is?

well i noticed it a little bit ago too during my lunch break. Seems to be white-ish. It didn't bog down, but I still had some smoke come out. And the previous owner took off the cat on this. I have the O2 sensors in the pipes.

Are you losing coolant? If not then no you don't have a blown head gasket.
