    I don't think it's running rich. If you want you can try reseting the computer (is it your SS or exec?). White smoke could be a bad transmission shift modulator which is allowing the engine to suck and burn transmission fluid (obviously not if it's your 5spd exec) or coolant is getting into the combustion chambers and being burned. Check for a bad head gasket or broken head.
