The only thing I could think of is that your gaskets are probably messed up and need to be replaced or a seal blah blah.

well, its the fmax kit with the two additional injectors in the intake pipe. It was run on the dyno and runs between 12-11 to 1 a/f ratio. If i could figure out how to post pics i would post my dyno runs.

Have you done a leak down test lately?
Oil that smells like gas might be an indicator that your piston rings are going south....

I second that. I think it makes more sense that gasoline is being leaked past the piston rings into your crankcase. Perhaps the high compression busted the piston ring? This is just speculation.

well, the two additional injectors are placed in the charge pipe right before the throttle body. They spray fuel when boost is applied accordingly. I run consistent air/fuel ratios. My theory is that fuel is somehow getting into the pcv hose, past the valve and into my cylinder head.

that is possible

what are you basing your "consistent AF ratio" on? i hope its not the colored gauge. get a wideband, they arent 'that' much money. if your running boost you should check out www.pgmfi.org they are a tuning forum that i spend alot of time learning on...i think you will discover alot of useful info.

do u have any slips for this car? curious as to what its running.
