    springs wont make it consume more. if your turbo, wouldnt it be attributed to blow-by?

    in any case...welcome to working with a modified LSx motor. mine consumes about a quart every 1000 miles of hard driving. its the nature of the beast. it doesnt mean anything is wrong with it.

    Never thought about that and now that you mention it, that first 1,000 miles of noticable oil consumption was a HARD 1,000 miles........drag strip, dyno pulls, rice burning and all. Also I have heard that our engines are notorious for oil consumption, usually through the PCV.
