If i do a good 2 to 3 gears (2 to 3, 3 to 4 ) worth of Wot running, at any psi, once i let off, i sometimes get a nice light smoke coming from the exhaust, and sometimes a heavy cloud of smoke too. It seems to be Oil.

Any ideas on the culprit? engine has 3730mi so i doubt its the rings letting oil by.

My thoughts: oil in the intake tract from the PCV getting sucked in under high vacuum?

What color is the smoke? Either way, not good. My '04 has never let off smoke, no matter what the conditions...........

Are you sure the fuel is being regulated propertly? I have seen that happen when running very rich. Those pops and cracks you hear comes from that. They increase with Stage 1 and Stage 2 becasue the stages run richer. Check your e-manage for fuel levels.
