fixed the smoke!!!!
**** YEAH!!!!
I fixed my smoking problem. And it was something SO STUPID.
My setup is home made, i used my AEM intake as one of the charge pipes, and i kept the breather tube connected to the valve cover from the intake. Anyways, i loosened the p/s bracket bolts, as well as removed the cam gear cover, in doing so i had to remove the valve cover, and stupid me forgot to reconnect the breather tube. Well, funny thing, i was driving along and i noticed, where the hell is my smoke? I got on the throttle more liberally, and still no smoke. So im like, **** i must be tripping or something, so i stop and stare at it, before it would cloud up around me, now it did NOTHING. i was like what the ****? so i pop my hood, check the blow off valve when i feel air flow on my arm and it went like "what th---no ******* way!!"
I guess what was happening was boost was getting into my vavle cover and ******* **** up albeit pushing oil past my valve seals? anyways, im happy i fixed it but kindof angry i spent $30 on a headgasket i dont need!! But i guess i can keep it for when i really do blow one.
SO. TIP FROM THE DUMB-ASSES. DONT LET BOOST GET INTO YOUR VALVE COVER

Re: fixed the smoke!!!! (quickspoolin)
i was so happy about fixing the smoke i took a trip down to the raceway and on FULL STREET TRIM, only thing i did to my car (other than what i normally drive on) was throw in some race gas (114 octane), and lower the tire pressure to 24psi. I ran a 14.0@100mph with a 2.275 60' on my heavy assed GSR rims, and FULL exhaust including my 5zigen which was meant for a n/a car
