I had the exact same issue with my stroker when it was new. I was consuming a quart every 100-200 miles. I let it go for 3,000 miles (watching the level very closely of course). It wasn't smoking and ran great. It ended up that my Demon carb was too rich and caused my rings to destruct, probably during run in. I was told that the rings were basically gone. This has happened to a number of folks I know. There are very few things that can cause that level of consumption. In my case, they didn't pull the motor. It only took them a day to replace the rings and another few hours at the dyno shop to get the A/F ratio right.
