smoke! and lots of it! i just finished heads/cam on my car (torquer 3) and it is still untuned. now this car shoots out ridiculous amounts of smoke! is this normal? the smoke has a whitish/blue tint to it.... if this is normal, will it be fixed once i'm tuned? thanks guys

yea I have the same thing. I changed the vavle seals and it did nothing. did not smoke before heads.
So I am in the same boat as you and would like to know this as well. My car is going to get tuned in about 2 weeks and get 38# injectors.

Sucking oil threw the intake would not cause white smoke. If it was burning oil, it would be black. Hate to say it but white is usually coolant.
I had stock heads on mine, but i know after my cam swap, before the tune the car didnt smoke that bad(but i never went WOT until after the tune).
A quick way to check the PCV anyway would to just pull of the lid and MAF off, crack the throttle body, and peak in there with a flashlight to check for a bunch of oil residue.

(besides the fact that it looks cool )
)Since you installed new heads, im guessing the valve seals are new, so more then likely you ARE burning oil threw the intake.
thanks guys, i'm ordering a catch can as we speak.
