I haven't tested compression since a week after the build, but I beat the crap out of the car @ 450whp. No smoke, runs great.

Hard to tell. I rarely drive the car and change oil after each event or two. However, my current oil has been in there for about 6mos and I can check before I change it out, if you are curious. I haven't noticed any oil being used up. I've never topped it off. I suppose, as hard as I drive it, I'd still know if I were burning oil. So far, so good!
I'm an awesome engine builder, what can I say?
