Question Need a Diagnosis Please

I had a wierd thing happen to my 06' this weekend. MBRP 4" no cat, Innovative street tune. I decided to head down to the big city of Phoenix for the weekend. As I was on my way to ITP Diesel to get some gauges, which by the way turned out great, I had to get on it a little to get around a person to get into the turning lane. While waiting at the light I noticed white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. It only lasted a few seconds but enough to make me worry. I proceeded to pull over and pop the hood and saw nothing no puking no signs of any fluids coming out of anything. I proceeded to the shop and the truck ran fine no smoke no power loss, nothing. So thinking it was possibly the car behind me smoking I dropped the concern. Then two days later same thing. Still no signs of anything wrong. It hasnt done it since and I even pulled a 9000 lb trailer home unprogrammed for peace of mind, and the truck ran fine. Should I be concerned???

im proballly being old school and over cautious, but its my opinion that with this truck, with a exhaust and intake, unless your a street racer you really dont need the chip/tuner. and if you must run one i would run it on the conservitive side until needed. and even then i wouldnt stray from the "big" brands... banks, super chips, and the custom tune company which seems to be very popular on this site.
keep it ford
