you may have something dripping onto the exhaust manifold causing it to smoke

Need a little more info. What's it smell like? Coolant, oil smoke, electrical smoke, burnt rubber? Can you tell where it's originating from? Front, back, side, high, low?

My first guess would be oil leaking onto the exhaust manifold but that is not typical for an LS1 engine to leak oil from the valve covers. Is your oil dipstick in place? Do you see any stains on the inside of your hood?
