Default Smell

I have a 98 Z28 with 38k miles. When i step on it at like 60 and hold it till like 120, i get a oil smell, like its burning oil. Its only when i hold it down and the rpms are way up there for a while. I also have no cats and am running open headers What do u guys think??? Bad or normal?

Are you leaking even slightly? Lots of blow-by out of the motor?

Open headers at 120MPH - I can smell a speeding ticket...
My car get some raunchy smells with no cats, but just smells like an old muscle car. LS1's do eat oil causing a cabon buildup on top of the pistons... could just be your burning that off.?.?.?
