What does the exhaust smell like?

Sounds horrible, seals should not be bad at 450 miles....

Yes car is tuned. Exhaust smells very bad, but I think thats because of the cam.

Is there definitely a problem??

What about the engine compartment, is there any noise that shouldn't be??

I don't know which sound are you talking about, but I have M6 trans and when I'm not pushing the clutch pedal, it sounds like that. Hopefully did you hear that?

Re: Blue smoke at first starts

Could be clutch noise I guess....what brand of clutch setup do you have - Never have heard a clutch be that loud except on our road race cars with triple-disc's and jerico's

I'm wondering if you are pig rich and that is fuel smoke on startup...

Yes it could be, but thats blue smoke, not black smoke.

As soon as I get my LM1 wide band air/fuel sensor, I will know whats going on.
