Default Bad smell at high RPM

Is there anyone else that notice a different smell at high rpms, not like burning rich or anything almost like there is some blow by. Just wondering if there is anyone else with this or is it a normal thing on GT.

I played with a ghost cam for maybe a day and it stopped my stock converters up. Had and embarrassing smell.

Pretty much anytime I get on it, that weird smell happens. Some call it the smell of speed

So how does that smell get into the cabin? Seems like it should not.
