Procharger owners I have a brand new forged stock displacement with 6.0 heads and G1 cam.Im running 6lbs of boost but oil comes out of the dipstick.The motor only has 600 miles on it will breathers on the valve covers stop this problem.The stock motor had this problem but a compression check showed some bad cylinders.Is this normal for prochargers or do i have another bad motor?Has anyone else had this problem and what did u do to fix it.

Definitely not normal, do a leak down test on the cylinders.

This may be a bit elementary, but make sure you don't have a bad PCV valve pumping boost into the crankcase. Check your fresh air hose as well. If the PCV valve is stuck partially or completely open it will be forcing lots of air through the crankcase even at idle.
AMW catchcan is better than the breathers. Unless you want oil spitting all over the engine. Sounds you might have alot of blow by. Sounds like you're not venting enough air out the breathers.
