HUH?..What?..Smokedawg- no flame intented but that makes absoutly no sense at all

The 70mm is a little big for a mostly stock motor, a 65mm would be better for now. If I remember correctly the Comp is just a upper that fits onto the stock lower or a GT40 lower. I would first check to make sure the gasket between the EGR spacer and intake isn't leaking, I bet that is where the coolant is getting into the intake. White smoke is coolant, blue is oil. You can bypass that spacer by plugging the two hoses that go into the EGR spacer. The coolant pre-heats the motor when it is cold, helps it idle better. I have had mine bypassed for a couple years no with no issues what so ever.

If the coolant is leaking into the intake it will make your plugs white, the water is cleaning everything off. CHeck that gasket first

No for the gas smell, if you have off roads you may smell it more then normal, also make sure you didn'y unplug or crush the vent hose that coms out from the top of the fuel tank when you swapped fuel pumps. The one line runs from the top of the tank to a metal tube that turns into a black plastic tube that runs to the charcol canister on the passenger side frame rail.
Fuel Pressure should be 38 and timing 14-16 (10 degrees is stock)
