you usually have to reprogram the computer after a cam. That may be why

Yeah, I'd say that's normal. My car smoked pretty bad for about 5-10mins. after I installed my headers.

well it all depends what color the smoke is... Stock will smoke when you first start it at times the is becouse the oil that has settled in the cylinder. I would be a little worred about the smoke at idle oil smoke is a blueish wite color. if the car is running rich it will be more of a black somke in this case it could be an ajustment

It'll smoke for a bit because it's burning all of the oil from your hands that got on them, and the protective oil they coat it with to prevent corrosion.

Nothing big.
