if it burns oil on acceleration its your rings. If it smokes on decel its your valve seals or defective PCV valve. Do you have a cat on? or are you running a test pipe? I would do a compression and leak down test and see whats up. Also, have you noticed increased oil consumption? Some motors just burn oil, so if the test come back alright, i'd just chaulk it up to the 'personality' of the motor.
