White smoke = big problems. Sounds like a blown head gasket. I can not believe that your tunner did not stop when this happened.

Any oil coming out the tail pipes? Is there oil on the spark plugs?

Like Chris said, if someone even mentioned a waste-gate when talking about a Lightning, punch them in the neck.

Also, if you knew there was an issue with the intercooler (i'm assuming you mean the pump) then why didn't you fix it?

Also, if you're experiencing that much white smoke, you need to rebuild that engine.
