Strange smoke problem

This is unlike most smoke problems i've seen.

The car doesn't smoke on startup, or at least its not noticable. Once the car is running for a while, or when I rev the car up, it starts smoking.

The car itself starts perfect, idles butter smooth, it just smokes badly. I don't notice the smoke at all when I am driving down the road.

Anyone had this kind of problem before?

The car itself is an 89 Camaro, with an L03. ~112k on the odometer.
