Unless of course it blows up on you 6 weeks after you buy it....trust me, I'm forever scarred and will always think my motor is going to blow again.

I'm going through that paranoia phase right now, I have a 3 day old car with a street port 3mm seals and 3k on the motor. It smokes on start-up and I'm scared to death the engine is going bye bye...Please tell me this is normal, It's running real rich because of the break-in hasn't been tuned since...
