87 13B, heavy white turning to blue smoke as oil comes up to temperature. After that, no smoke till motor cools and I restart it.

I doubt the OMP would cause it.. how is your compression? sounds like seals

Have someone follow you and check if he sees puffs of smoke between shifts or at high rpms. The omp really won't cause excessive smoking. I would guess worn out oil seals.
