Default Cloud if smoke from tail pipe when I floor my car

I got a 89 mustang. And my friends keep telling me that when I floor the car a cloud of smoke leave my tail pipe. Some one keeps telling me it's blue smoke. What's does the smoke mean and is it something I should worry bout? What should I do bout it?

valve seals dont leak because of oil pressure.

if you had ever seen inside an engine before, specifically, a SBF.. you would know that any "pressurized" oil, doesnt go ANYWHERE NEAR the valve seals

Someone can corect me here but I think a little blue smoke upon nailing it to the floor is okay. I used to see smoke out of all my cars when I nail it sometimes...
