That is blow-by. Definetly check the pcv like mentioned (and hope you have a bad one), but you are most likely pressureinzing the crank case from all of the extra cylinder pressure. Pobbible old rings or broken rings.

could just be running rich as well, pushing pas teh rings....try putting in on a wideband dyno to check AF ratio....may have to lean out fuel jet. I did this on my GTO and it worked fine afterwards (AF ratio from 9-1 to 11.5 - 1)

I agree with GM Muscle. There is another reason that #7 always gets blamed, on road racers #7 tends to have detonation because of poor cooling. This more of a problem for the ls6 and often times they add the steam tubes under manifold for cooling, as ls6 doesn't have them.
