Default Need Serious Help Guys

I am facing a veru big problem with my car.
Its a 2000 Camaro with full bolt-on's 241ported heads and cam.
The valve seal of my car is totally gone so when i start the car a lot of smoke comes out from the back of the car but right now it is not fast like before..i tested in the drag strip and 0.8 sec was increased.
does the valve seal will do such thing and when i checked my spark plugs a lot of oil was inside there
PLEASE NEED YOUR HELP
I really dont know whats wrong with the car and by the way the oil pressure is very very low and i am using 10w30 oil.

how low is the pressure? I would change out your oil and check for metal particles. Then maybe replace your valve seals. A lot of oil seeping by would slow you down.

yhea, seeping oil will cause the knock sensors to retard your timing,you should also pull your throttle body and look into your intake to see if it has any oil in it LS1 are notorious for sucking oil out of the pcv sys and into the intake.
