Furthermore, assuming you have side pipes, drive on the street at night and observe your exhaust as it hits the headlights and such of cars idling near you or as you drive away.
What heads does your car have?

They are the roush AFR heads.
I think I may have found the issue. I spoke to the guys at the roush booth at the goodguys car show yesterday and one of them was a ex superformance dealer who now works for roush. When I explained my issue he told me right off the bat that he knew what it was, but then said that I would not believe him.
He told me the dipstick was wrong and the car was throwing the oil up on the block and cylinder walls at high speed and much of the oil was burned and the byproducts were going out the pcv valve. He told me to pull the drain plug, drain the oil, put 7 qts of oil. Then take a reading on the stick. It showed on the stick that it was at the add mark. I then filled the new filter with oil, removed and replaced the old. And, when I took the car out for a 100 miles or so trip. The oil was right where it was for the new reading. So, I am crossing my fingers that this was the problem....Disaster diverted, unless he is full of ****, and the car runs low on oil. Then, I will be talking to him and roush again.
