Default am i burning oil

ok , my friend was behind me while i was driving and he said when i left first gear he saw some smoke, he wasnt sure what color it was but now im thinking its either because i have test pipes or because i had nitrous on my car. i went home and reved it and saw a little bit of black smoke. is this normal. The car drives like a champ. Also do are cars run more rich or lean stock
thanks

the car should run rich from the factory, but the big thing is check your oil level and keep track of it for a while. Sometimes you can get some burnoff but the oil level will tell the tale.
