Default 'HELP' car smokes like hell

I got a LS VTEC with a b16 head
car smokes worse than seafoam
but it only smokes under load past 3000
doesnt smoke when i rev to like 7000 doesnt smoke when i down shift to high rpm
spark plugs look just fine oil/coolant not really disappearing much
no funny sounds
the smoke looks mostly white maybe just a little hint of blue
i dont even gotta hold the gas pedal halfway for it to fill up the whole street with smoke to the point it looks like heavy fog

thanks alot to the person can help me or went through this before

I had the same problem once and damn its sad to see.
change your Headgasket, and if that don't work then yeah definitely check your piston rings, but most likely its your headgasket
