I'll tell you all what -- I got home, backed in the garage and found oil EVERYWHERE. I about had a heart attack. But it seems to be coming from up top somewhere. There's oil in the valley, but none on the HPOP lines or connections. None on the turbo or pedestal, but PLENTY under my truck that ran down the back of the block. I thought it might be coming from the VCs, but the side of the block is dry, and I doubt it could get from the VCs to the valley -- does that make sense? It's just odd that everything has been fine for 300 miles, and suddenly I have an entire bottom side covered in oil... 
EDIT: No, I'm not going to Crandall this weekend. Sounds like fun though...

Kris, help the OP or us out...What is it doing to his rods?
You and Stroken should know for sure. What are you two up to? Four, five, engines between the two of you?

So how many visits with the tuner does it typically take to get things settled down? Joe hasn't got any updated tunes yet for the new injectors.
I guess I took a nap, what's going on in Crandall?
You know the drill. Clean it up and narrow things down. Front middle or back of the valley? How low is the oil on the dipstick? Did you inspect the valley for signs of oil after you got the valve covers bolted back on after the swap?
Ouch.

What do you live in an alley Joe?
That is how my truck sounded with Swamps tunes. They may have improved since then but could not fix mine. Maybe we need big oil for their tunes but mine is a lot better now after live tuning without big oil and different tuner.
Good luck with the leak and I hope it is something simple and cheap.
