Default Burning oil like crazy!!!

Two weeks ago I added oil to the engine and today I checked my oil level again and saw that its at the add level. I do have 11-1 heads and was told that high compression heads burn more oil than normal....is that true??

Na, its probably your PCV system sucking all you oil in your intake. Mine got real bad after the Fast 90 went on. Go get a nice breather. If you have a broken ring or something else then you work to do.

Yeah, lets pray you don't have a broken right. How many miles are we talkin on the shortblock? I'm sure you've got new valve guides with those heads right, just an idea. I'm also willing to put my money on a bet that it's your pcv system sucking oil. I got a real nice chrome breather that is real solid and looks nice on ebay for about $40 with shipping, not sure if you can get them cheaper, but I love mine.
