One other thing to consider is how you are handling the blowby. If you are using a pan-e-vac system make sure that the check valves on the headers are not rusted or stuck so that they won't work. On one of our cars we found bad ones and it made a big difference oil leaks and picked up a tad of E.T. This is a 700hp SBC. It is on alcohol so it can have quite a bit of crankcase pressure.
