    there could be some moisture in the motor that is just burning off, what color is it?

    you should do an oil change right after a build anyways to get anything out that might be in the motor. fwiw the motor has a lot of smoke in the winter before it heats up if that makes you feel better.

    I can't imagine winter in Florida right now causing this. It's either junk in the exhaust that is burning off, something in the cylinders from assembly, or you have an issue.

    What do you mean by "abnormal amount of exhaust coming out"? Is this smoke, or just a higher velocity of exhaust fumes with no smoke/color? If no smoke then it could just be because you're catless. Not sure if you need a tune for that either.
