Angry Catch Can and Metco Breather,Where is My Oil Going???

I tell you this car is one thing after another!My wife and I were coming home from our trip tonight,I was cruising down US10 and I 75 at 75-80 mph for about an hour straight without jumping on the car with my new H/C combo.I had to get over to get off the highway and I floored it,I looked into my Rear veiw mirror,and I was like WTF!!!! I barried the guy behind me in a total SMOKE SCREEN I mean you could hardly see his Headlights after Dusk, In 600 miles I went through about 3/4 of a quart I checked my 90mm Intake and TB,Because my stock tb and intake used to be lathered in oil,But it was dry?I drained my catch can and maybe 2 table spoons came outThis Car uses about the same amount of oil with my new set up as it did stock I dont get it where is it going?Well so much for trying to stop the oil burning
Thanks again,Scott

Well I'd see where it's goin first. Is the plugs showing signs of burning it? Have you done compression tests, cranking & running? Cylinder leak downs? If you look ok on the cylinder sealing area I'd look into valve seals.
Quick easier way to look at intake valve to see if seals are crapy; Pull injector rail up . You need a bendable stick light. (< auto parts stores got 'em) Stick the light down the injector holes & inspect the valves. It's not easy but it works, you got new heads so they should be clean. The exhaust's seals are alot harder to inspect. Need to Know where it's goin first B-4 knowin' what to fix.
