I Think I hurt it bad
This what the car has on it
2003 Z06
A&A D1SC 6 rib / 4.10 Pulley
LGM Longtube Pros w/hi flo cats
B&B Bullets
ECS Dual Nozzle Meth Kit
Kenne Bell Boosta Pump
Racetronix harness
60# Injectors
Put it on the dyno and made 580rwhp / 555 rwhp @ 5600rpm
One the first pass, oil dip blew out of it holder.
PCV system is set up like Procharger suggests
Oil pressure sensor failed (read 0 psi)
Got the car towed to my house since I didnt want to take anymore chances of being broke on side of the road.
The next morning fire her up, Got my oil pressure back 40 lbs, runs good....BUT smokes little on idle White / Blue smoke. (OIL)
Take out my plugs, and replace them
The car is tuned real FAT (rich)
The set of plugs on the bottom represent the drivers side. in the order front to rear. The top set is the passenger side, front to rear.
The bottom set / last two plugs had oil on them with the ceramic piece around the electrode cracked off and free spinning.
car idles fine,
I take the oil cap off (I have a breather), and no smoke.
I put my hand over the oil fill neck, and it puts out some blow by, and it pulls vaccuum when I put my hand completely over the oil fill neck.
I just ordered the catch can / check valve, but I might have a valve seat issue or a ring / ringland issue.
I'm trailering the car back with me to Maryland next week, but it looks like I'll be going forged.
Opinions?

My heads, cam, nitrous car blew the dipstick out on the dyno and smoked after. I thought maybe it was just oil in the intake burning through, but I'm not that lucky. Took it to the engine builder and it looks like GM forgot to put any rings in the #8 cylinder, or maybe I blew them all out(it's still up in the air)
. If it is gone in a couple of months your going to have a huge smile on your face so don't let it get you down. Just don't drive it so you don't damage the block.
