What makes you think it's rich? How was this verified? What color is the smoke? Have you put it on a wideband? Do you have access to a scan tool?

well if you are reading rich on wideband do u have a way to lean it? Usually rich is black smoke... white could be oil. ATAP ur car if u can see what ur LTerms are... any recent mods that might cause a change or did it start all of the sudden?

White normally indicates an oil consumption issue - a whitish-blue. If it's puffy cloud white that is more like anti-freeze. Fuel will be grey-black.

An a/f guage that hooks to your stock o2's is not a reliable indicator of how rich/lean you are at WOT though.

The thing i cant figure out is if it is oil passing thru the heads it would smoke all the time if it was a ring same there but it only does it while running the **** out of it.

I don't think it's tuning related - considering the oil usage. I would suggest posting your question in the engine section and see what the consensus is.
