5.3, lsa charger, fi cam, 2.55 upper. After only a couple test drives I stared noticing oil smoke from exhaust. Fowled the plugs and barely made it home. Pulled the supercharger lid and discovered a bunch of oil in it. Looking for any advice or suggestions on how to fix the issue or maybe my pcv routing is wrong?

I had this same exact issue, did you ever figure out a proper pcv solution?
I'd start with a bigger catch can. At LEAST 750cc, if you can find bigger, a LITER would be better.
Is there possibly a check valve in your Vent system that could be blocked ?
Fixed orifice breather in drivers side rocker cover clogged ?

I ended up using a catch can, with steel wool inside and drained it every couple of weeks or so. I think the problem was I didn't drain the can enough.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe you should be catching that much oil with a catch can. I would only get a few ounces after about 500 miles. I'd have to look back at my thread, but your PCV routing looks different than mine.
