I hope that's not what is happening with your car....

Thanks for the info.
I cleaned out the intake plenums to remove any extra oil so I don't believe its residual.
Definitely a consideration. I'll do a compression test when I have a chance.
The weird thing on my car is that straight line I can be hard on the gas no problem, no smoke. On the street, never any smoke, ever.
On the track with hard turns, elevation changes, and banked turns, smoke city.
For reference, I have a 2qt deep sump, horizontal baffle, EBS vertical baffle, 997 return tubes, and a full flow filter adapter.
