    When it starts smoking does it make any strange noises? Does the car start driving strange in any way?

    its probably just carbon minoxide, you either have a bad cat, no cat, or a hole in ya cat convertor( which either one aint that bad, your just polluting more and wont pass emissions if you attempt) as long as your not shootin oil out, your fine.
    shootin oil out your exhaust....blown head gasket

    White smoke isnt a fuel problem, its possibly a sign of coolant in the exhaust. You could possibly have a cracked head/blown head gasket. Sometimes when the head gasket goes it will produce a passage for the antifreeze to pass from the capillaries into the combustion chamber

    Black smoke is a fuel issue. I spray black smoke when I use nitrous and the bottle is almost empty, and before I had any tuning NA.

    yeah but i mean like i said its not a constant thing only when im in high rpms. if it is a coolant problem could that because the engine is working harder or something so it makes the smoke come and be more appearant?

    Most any problem starts at higher RPM's then gradually starts affecting mid range RPM's , etc. Get it checked out for sure.
