Rebuilt engine blowby

So I just put in a fresh rebuilt ls6 with wiseco pistons and scat rods. Put 500 miles on with non synthetic oil. Get to the dyno dunk and after a few pulls I see oil out the breather and smoke out of it also. What do you guys think.

Always break a motor in with conventional oil. What you have isn't looking good.

Do a compression/leak down test. What did you gap your rings to?

I'm a fan of conventional oil as well if its a good one. You can google up all sorts of studies done on all of them. I would be more concerned on my machining and fitment specs in respect to piston to wall and rings. I don't like going back into a new build at 500 miles but I have done it just for piece of mind.
Might be somethin as simple as that type of breather and where it is. The breathers I have seen are away from the covers on the catch can.

Smoke is normal, but can you give more info of "oil out the breather"?
