Sounds like you might have a ring problem. The problem sounds like you're getting excessive blowby in the combustion chamber when your a/f mixture is compressing-- either that, or if you have forged pistons, that your clearance that was filed into your rings was too large-- in excess of .020".

Does your car smoke as well under load?
