I am still losing oil through my PCV valve. This started after my spring dyno. Is it possible that my throttle body isn't moving fast enough? I would think if I didn't have enough free air moving from the outside caused by my TB not opening enough would cause a vacuum, in that case it would suck the air from the cam covers. I would also get pinging from my octane being lowered from the oil vapor.
I may be thinking too deep in this....
OR maybe my charge motion plate aren't opening enough, this stuff could drive you crazy!

The manifold experiences the most vacuum at idle, so your "throttlebody not moving quick enough" has nothing to do with it, your TB has nothing to do with this. These cars will suck oil through the pcv system, it is possible you have a decent amount of blowby causing high pressures in the crankcase and higher oil consumption. Look at JLT in the vendor section, they sell catch cans to eliminate oil burning through PCV hoses.
