Ok, here in lies the confusion. Your last post stated:

"My factory PCV sytem is stock (with exception of where it now plugs into"

and then above you say above it plugs into the manifold and runs to the back of the engine, which is correct. So do you have the factory PCV setup or not?

Also, there is no sense in even trying to tune for meth if you are sucking oil.

In any case, if you are confident the lines are clear, I would agree with a compression test to see if excessive blowby is an issue. I have run a line from the filler cap to a JAZ can with a breather on it. Never have any oil in the intake at all.

Results of tear down revealed normal C5 valve float with valves hitting 4of the pistons. Each of the those 4 pistons that was slightly nicked was cracked at the ring land ...no wonder it was blowing so much oil

What type of valve springs were you running on the old setup?
