Really I have noticed it to be under hard accel. The motor has about 3200 miles on it. My main concern the car had an injector stuck and was running really rich, just hoping I didnt wash my rings.

It will burn off a little oil when it's new, but I would think by 3200 miles the rings should be fully seated and it wouldn't be using oil. I have 300 miles on a new crate motor and it still burns a little under hard accel.
