Smoke Blowing Through The Vents!

I would try posting under the "Power Adders" section as well. There shouldn't be a lack of guys running Vortechs here or there.

Does it do it with your climate control fan off also? My guess is that during high RPM's your cooling system is under higher pressure and causing your heater core to start to leak. A leaking heater core will manifest itself itself as smoke coming out of the vents. Adjust your climate control to blow on your windshield only to see if the location of the smoke changes. If the core is leaking, it will fog up your windshield. It doesn't smell like coolant does when you stick your nose to it. Wiping it with a rag will yield a greasy streaks. Happened to me.
