Default Smoke??

I had the Vengeance racing TSP 220 heads and cam package install in my 01 Camaro in June. Car had 55k on it. Everything has been running very well and have put about 400-500 street miles on the car.
I took the car out for a track day at the Nascar car track outside of Nashville. Five minutes into my first run my car started smoking when I let off the gas. The hotter the car got the more smoke came out going into the corners.
I filmed the rear of my car and there is no smoke when I accelerate, only after about 5-6 mins of hard running then when I de-celerate, SMOKE!
The only change I made was I changed my oil just before going and used Mobile 1 5W-20. Is this oil thin enough to suck past the rings when it get hot??

any help would be great.
Thanks

the sound is messed up on this! .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj0aiqSrT6w

I've heard that I need to hook up an oil catch can between the valve cover and intake on that breather tube. I'll be getting that done and running thicker motor oil.

Any commits would be great.

PCV, valveseals or no locktite or your rocker bolts would be my best guesses.

No smoke on start up. The big cam makes the engine load up when it's cold and there is a little smoke from that, but it clears really quick and there is no smoke at all at idle.
I'm going to replace the PVC valve and install an oil catch can between the PVC and the intake.
Anyone know of a good set up??
