I can't remember but I think by the second or possibly the 3rd oil change the smoking completely stopped on my engine.
I couldn't go more than 2000 miles between oil changes prior to that. I was consuming around 1 quart per 1000 miles.

Updated! Got around 21,xxx on this motor now-
Just did plugs, O2 sensors and CAI
On its 3rd winter with us- gets decent mileage out of the oil life- 2500 miles before it needs a quart
It's unreal -
now I have 2 motors to choose from if it goes- the lq9 (which I think will be going in my supercharged truck if I can) and a 05 5.3 ( small cam)

Another update 27,890 on it since I started this thread. The heart transplant is getting a look over with ls9 headgaskets and arp bolts just incase for future (learned with my other truck that is now boosted without this)
Its been sitting for about 2 years now- I fogged the motor and wow it broke down the carbon on the pistons all I had to do is wipe them
