Check your bottom end. Sounds like piston rings are gone. Also check your PCV system.

could it be the valve seal..if it were the rings wouldnt the car lose any power by losing some compression. the car still drives strong just smokes only when i smash the pedal

Figure it out ASAP. If it's shitting out that much oil, it's not a good idea to drive it anymore til you find out what's going on.
