Default smoking at 3k +

So I rebuilt the ls1 in my 98 Formula a few months back. I've put about 5000 miles on her so far but have noticed that anytime I go from 3000rpms + on the interstate......I have a trail of white smoke

Everything looks fine and the car runs great other than that. Mods below....anyone have an idea of whats going on?

no cats
ls6 intake, cam , and pc system.

White smoke not blue or black? Hows the coolant level?

It is a dirty white but not grey color.

The coolant level is fine, as in I have not lost any.
I have a slight oil leak coming from the rear main but I felt like that would not cause this issue.
I'm totally stumped.

generally that color smoke is coolant related, blue oil and black too rich ... generally speaking..LOL IIRC

it may be a little rich then. Never had it tuned for the lt headers ect.
I tried using hp tuners but had no patience. Ill try to get it to a shop if I can find a tuner anywhere near me....lol
