Oil issue
Prior to getting this stuff done, the car was fine. I went ahead and got headers and a 2.30 upper pulley for the car and had it installed at a shop. Went WOT for first time and it threw a check engine code. It was P0330 which is a knock sensor code, the car was knocking. I pop the hood to find oil all over the bottom of the engine bay and I look under the car as well and find oil all over the bottom portion of the car. I'm guessing it threw the knocking code because it's burning oil so the car thinks it's knocking, also a lot of blue smoke coming out of tail pipes after WOT. And all this happens only during full throttle, normal driving it is perfectly fine. Does anyone have an idea on what's up with it? Anything helps. Let me know, thanks.

sounds like melted piston. It was tuned for the pulley - right???

#1. Take it back to the shop! They put it together, they’d better figure it out.
Good luck man.

Sounds like it pushed the rear main seal
And damaged an oil ring in one of the cylinders since you’ve got blue smoke coming from the tail pipes |

Yeah... damaged piston/ring/head gasket > excessive crank case pressure > blown rear main seal > new engine.
Sorry. I hope we're all wrong... |

obvious problem is possibly the dipstick tube is not all the way inserted from the header install. The new tune may need some adjustments.

Jesus !! I would have a heart attack.
You're still driving that thing without first finding out where the oil leak is coming from?
