smoke at wot..sometimes....oil pressure dropped slightly....hmmmmm
ok..so only thing i have changed is i sprayed some n02. a 100 shot. used it twice for a 3rd and 1/4 way through 4th gear....only 110~ mph. today i drove the car and everything is fine. hop on the highway and hit it...no spray...i see a bunch of white/blueish smoke comin out the back..and it smelled like oil. also i noticed my oil pressure was slightly lower. car runs fine. and does not smoke at all except for everynow and then wot pulls.
it used to sit where the yellow line is:
now sits like this. u can see the difference in the 1st pic:
its not a huge difference but still a difference nonethe less. car idles fine, drives fine. and only smokes under wot...
only thig i see visually wrong is the pass side valve cover gasket seems to leak a little.

well the smoke is telling me maybe u melted a ring? i mean ive ruined rings before and the car still ran the same but same thing happened, i lost some oil pressure and it smoked all the time tho, so your ring mishap might be minor but still.......

well, I am sure somebody will correct me if I am wrong, but I always thought that the dry system just shot the nitrous in and the computer added the right amount of fuel. A wet system injects gas and nitrous, which I always thought was more suseptable to a screwup in the mixture causing potential issue with overheating a piston.

Probably nothing to be that worried about, your probably getting a little oil in the intake and your blowing it out when you mash it.... If you get on it a few times does it go away???? I would invest in a catch can.....

Do u have a proper Pcv System? if not u can be subjecting the crankcase to a lot of blow by pressure. enough that could start filling the intake up with garbage, then u blowing it out is exactly as it en tales.
