whats this white smoke?

when i start my car a little bit of white smoke comes from my exhaust, i thought this was normal for a while, considering i have a 3 in DP, no cat, and a 3 in exhaust. Well i was reving my engine today and tons of white smoke shot out the back, what does the white smoke mean?

Well coolant is around the cylinders, so it could mean a head gasket leak, burning coolant... or possibly a crack in the cylinder wall, which I doubt.
