Actually, I'm gonna have to chime in and agree with Az. Under no circumstances should your car be running that rich. And if Honda tells you it's normal then fuck them. I run a fairly rich 12:1 A/F ratio and never get any smoke out of my engine (no cats, just straight pipe). That was with a turbo at 12-18lbs of boost depending on the tune. For a mostly stock engine to be turning out smoke under WOT, it's just absurd. It could be injectors, regulator, O2 sensors, or some other Honda problem I'm not aware of, but don't let anyone tell you it's normal.
