Post Cars burning/spewing oil

I recently put in a high volume oil pump after my last oil pump froze up. I have an open K/N breather cap and I know it was spitting out some oil from that about a year ago when I had it on the dyno. Anyways I was trying today with the nitrous. And at WOT its spewing a lot of smoking up through the shifter. I figure this is from oil spewing out of the K/N onto headers and burning?

Also when I am on the nitrous it spews even more smoke.

This is definatly worse than before, I was thinking the increase in oil pressure maybe forcing more oil out of the K/N. What causes this?

The car seems to be running good aside from a high idle. Althought I havn't been back to the track since the oil pump went in.

Thanks,

Skyler
