Cos where there's smoke, there's fire.
Seriously, I would say because it runs rich to help protect the engine.

Did Gary ever end up getting the heads set up for O-rings? I think I remember head gasket issues waay early on in the build?
But yeah - my guess would be running a rich tune to avoid expensive explosions while he's waiting for a decent tune.

yes, its all been O ringed recently. Its just in need of a good tune now.
As for smoke, consider yourself lucky. At the Geelong AFD a few years back it was spitting 5 foot of flame out the rear.. almost cooked some poor bugger!
