My FC has a smoke stack?
so I slammed on my brakes today and afterwards my FC spewed smoke for a solid 2 minutes, like someone-just-dumped-a-quart-of-oil-in-my fuel-supply spewed smoke, stopped after two minutes, then at the next light started spitting smoke rings SERIOUSLY!! car has newer ceramic apex seals so I doubt its that...anything else it could be? (problem is sporadic and isolated) only cause I can come up with is slamming on the brakes screwed something up?

Maybe the brake lines weren't so good and they "gained" a leak when you did that emergency braking. Check all of the brake lines, especially the ones near the tires to see if any one of those is wet with brake fluid or if it has any cracks that may leak while you brake. Squeeze the rubber brake lines with your fingers to see better if there is any crack or puncture that may be leaking.

How is your purge system set up? Maybe oil is collecting in one of the purge lines and then finding it's way into the intake manifold under high vacuum when the G-forces are just right...

You'll want to hit up the FAQ and download a copy of the training manual and factory service manual. This will help you understand the systems I'm referring to. The purge system is the "PCV" system to remove vapors and such from the crankcase.
