problem with smoke , need help 2000 ss with 15000 miles on engine, mods are afr 205s, comp cam ,kooks longtubes ory, ls6 intake, pcv conversion. the car smokes none stop now,gradually gitting worse, performed pcv conversion and still smoking. noticed when i removed the oil fill cap smoke pours out and some times blowes out the dipstick. i sure could use some advice???
The LS6 PCV conversion doesn't stop them from sucking oil into the intake.
But I agree that a leak down test is in order. If you're building crankcase pressure and blowing the dip stick out it's probably time for some new internals or short/long block.

Did you check your rocker wipe when assembled?
A wide wipe off-center pattern coupled with high valve spring forces (especially the 8019's) will result in worn valve guides (which are bronze) and you have plenty of miles for that to have happened. To check, pull a couple of valve springs and try wigging the valves back and forth from the intake manifold towards the exhaust manifold.
