Default ploom of smoke

when i drop my car from 6th to 3rd (or second) i see a ploom of smoke shoot out - this only happens when i have a SUDDEN change in rpm, from 1500 - 5000-5500

anything to worry about? the car still runs like a raped ape

seems like a regular lt1 thing. mine does it when i get on it hard, but its only like a slight haze behind the car, not like a cloud of smoke or anything, i personally think you are ok on what your car is doing.

Mine does it, it is just the change in the amount of fuel being burned. Barely any to a large amount will tell the engine to send alot in.

oil change time? Does it come out of your exhaust pipes?

Do you have an oil breather?

I don't think that has anything to do with it, I have my Valve Cover vented. It is just alot of fuel being burned.

Remember Blue smoke is oil, black smoke is fuel, white smoke is water.
If its blue its probably a worn valve seal or ring that doesnt like the faster change in compression
