how long ago did you install the stuff? smoking right after intial startup is normal since the engine heat is burning off all the coolant and oil that was spilled in in the bay. running no cats will increase the fume smell as well.
can you pin point the oil consumption; like whether is comming through the intake or if your piston rings are wearing out? do a leak down test and see. install a catch can while your at since there pretty simple to do.

not sure i wana say maybe threw the intake and pcv so im goign ot make my own catch can out of some fittings and pvc pipe, i took my tb off and seen some oil in there so im hoping thats the reason it is cause i guess it it was it whould cause some smoke since it burnning oil threw intake, it might be rings cause i have 127,000 miles plus on it drove everday and not easy miles at that, but before heads and cam and evreything else it never smoked or used oil, so if it is a little threw the rings i cant complain too much but i hope its not as i wont have my 408 done till after summer, all so thinking my valve seals terry sending me some better ones to try out all so maybe that, like i said i got my heads before he started useing the better seals and he insted ot send them too me, why i whent with pp heads he all ways took time too answer all my ? and custemer service is important ot me,
you think the ls6 vally pan and new pcv for the newer f-bodys whould help?
