Default LS/rex is puffing white smoke.. HELP!!

i was on the freeway on the way to an interview, when i floored the gas to get around someone, right when the RPM's rose above 4500 or so, a huge cloud of white smoke was billowing out of the back of my car.... then i let off of the gas, and it went away..... i ended up making it to the interview, as i tried to stay away from high rpms..... i have no idea what the problem is especially with sooo much white smoke coming from my car.... can someone please help?? thank you!

white smoke is burning coolant
blue smoke is burning oil

Burning coolant is often a sign of a blown head gasket.

yea thats what peeps have been telling me.... im thinking it could either be a blown head-gasket or just oil blow-by.... i put a quart of oil in the car the day before, and i might have put too much oil in.... but my car was covering up 2 lanes on the freeway of very dense smoke, would that really just be blow-by? thanks
