How long does it smoke? If it goes away after a minute or two, doesn't stink like burning coolant, it may just be condensation.... (white smoke is generally water) Did you put everything back together? Or did you pay someone else to do it?

Go back to the shop, and have a chat with 'em. It may not be anything, but, never hurts to follow up.

I had put an injector number 7 because it had giving me a 7 misfire when i got it back from the shop, but yhe injector i replaced was a little bit wider at the mouth on top, but the auto part got the injector it called for in the system. But it sure looked bigger opening on top. I was wondering if that would make a difference.

Probably not.... so long as it is the same flow rate as the rest, should be good.
