Default high rpm evac ideas

Needing a better evac for high RPM. Running a 408 with BTR Stg 4 cam. Normal driving and somewhat hard runs everything is fine. But its blowing the dipstick at WOT @ 7,000 rpm.
I have a catch can running from both valve covers in into the intake. I tried just letting it breathe to the atmosphere as well.
I ran it up to 6500 quite a few times and no oil in catch can dipstick stays put.
If I run it up to its shift point, blows dipstick out.

So with no connections on valve covers along with removing oil cap it still blows dipstick? Besides a vacuum pump maybe get some custom valve covers with bigger ports? Interested. How much power does it make. What size headers are on it?

It's a NA 408. Made 486 untuned. But can't finish tune until I fix this.
It has the Holley Valve covers that coils mount directly to. The Headers are 1-7/8"

Right now its set up as both VCs are routed to catch can which goes to Intake port behind TB.
Thinking maybe add one more hose from valley cover to catch can as well.
But I'm needing to dyno this car soon and need to fix this issue. Last time on dyno it blew out and had a little fire when oil hit headers.

I would think the extra valley cover port will help. What's the exhaust from headers back? Hope you get it figured.

Headers to I pipe to SLP LM1. Basically straight pipes.
