Is this normal? Just pulled my intake and saw all this gunk.

No k&n, car only has 80k on it.

Has been pretty much stock except for tbe since 06.

Finally getting around to modding her and am greeted with this.

Should i be concerned by this amount of blowby?

It doesnt look wet. Ive never seen such a thing. For peace of mind do a compression and leak down test then mod away if results are ok. With such low miles im sure its a healthy engine.

It was more like grease than wet oil. Only on the entry, wasnt on the blades.

My guess would be that either you are driving dirt roads or the air filter is passing excessive dirt. If the filter is good I'd suggest looking for a leak bypassing the filter.
