VA smoke/fuel injectors/oil

will the rx7 smoke a little when floored simply because there is oil being mixed with the fuel thats being burned? and is lucus and fuel injector cleaner safe to use on the engine?

No, smoke is not normal. If the oil control rings are allowing additional oil into the combustion chambers, or too much oil is being premixed in the gas, you can get smoke from the exhaust.

Fuel injector cleaners are safe, but generally useless. If you think your injectors need cleaning, send them to Witchhunter (http://www.witchhunter.com/) or another shop that does servicing.
