Default Smoke out the breather but good compression?

I got my car tuned yesturday, and noticed a lot of smoke coming out of my breather filter. I checked my compression today and I have 120 across the board (same as its always been)

Am I ok or is there a problem with my car? Its a stock block boosted d16

you can perfect compression numbers with messed up ringlands. Not alot of people no that.

120 is like 7:1 compression, those rings are hurting.

that is true at a local SRT shop there were 2 SRT's that had PERFECT comp and they tore down the motors to build them and we found broken ringlands on both motors....

hmm, alright. Im just gonna save up for some forged internals just incase my motor is about to blow. If worse comes to worse I will just end up with a semi build block.

sorry to break it down buddy, your ring lands are gone.

messure your oil level, because that smoke you see is oil burning.
