do i need a breather on valve cover

just got my motor built and drove it home from the tuner fine no leaks or anything under normal driving conditions. As soon as i got home i went out to see how it ran and now there is oil getting shot on the bottom of the hood and on top of the intake from what it appears from the driver's side valve cover. i Have a high volume oil pump and it only does it when i take all the way up to 6-6500rpm. Is it a faulty gasket? doesn't leak if you drive normal and looks like it is shooting out not just leaking. do i need a breather on my vavle covers??
