Default 99 si smoking like crazy when in Vtec

i barely beat on this car...i give it a good couple redlines a maybe a couple times a month if not less..otherwise im shifting at like 3500...well today i was driving and just felt like hitting vtec because it was cold out and i redlined the car and this big *** cloud of smoke was left behind me..like badly...i hit it a second time and not nearly as much came out and the third time i was above like 7500 no smoke came out at all...is this because i drive the car at such low RPMS all the time that it gets clogged up or something? or do i have a major problem on my hands?

i change the oil every 3500 so thats definately not the problem

vtec won't kick in, in park (neutral), so if it's a problem with the vtec that wont help
