Default strange smell at WOT

I recently put in theTrex and 4400 and got it all tuned but at WOT the engine has a strange smell kind of like engine oil. Is this normal?

Mine kind of does the same thing, but I always just thought it was the stock clutch screaming for help. Haven't had any problems yet though.

He means residue left on all the parts you touched during the cam swap. All that burned off a long time ago.

Check your pcv lines. Mine was doing this and the pcv line that runs from the bank 1 valve cover to the bank 2 valve cover was broke.
