White smoke, low power

My car was running like a champ, then I parked it, did vacuum hose job, and modded my omp for a separate resivoir. Put it all back together , then went to turn it on and it wouldn't start, just cranked. Only starts If I hit my fuel cut off switch and mash the gas till it starts then turn the fuel back on, it also blows tons of white smoke now when accelerating from a stop and has super low power help me lurches a bit when in the high rpms, no smoke at higher rpms

Did you connect the hoses ti the right nipples on the intake? Also, did you block off oil injector holes and delete the whole omp with a block off plate?

thanks for the reply! All my hoses are routed correctly after checking about 20 times lol I rebuilt my omp lines, the omp itself, and tapped it for a separate feed after blocking off the engine oil feed. I do indeed have a coolant leak. I hooked a pressure tester to it and it didn't hold. time for a rebuild
