Moisture from exhaust?
I just changed my oil... and holy crap was the oil black..we had to go through 2 bottles just to run through it and clean it. After all that business I put in some castrol gtx 10w30. After I fired it up, I felt moisture coming from the exhaust only a little bit of smoke came out though. My idle up to 1k which was kind of awkward.. But anyone want to explain what is up with the mositure coming out?

May just be good ol' condensation. I wouldn't particuarly worry about it unless you're mysteriously losing coolant.
You said you ran through 2 bottles to clean it - I'm assuming that means you changed the oil, started the car up, shut it down, and changed it again, right? If so, you probably had a minor flood condition making the car run rough on startup.

As for the mooisture coming out of the exhaust, as mentioned above, it's most likely condensation and is normal.

Just changed my air filter today too, and at start up the rpm shot up to 3k and stayed there for maybe a good 10 secs.. When I started it up I forgot to put on the cover air ram for intercooler and intake, but I don't if that explains why the idle shot up so high.
