Great news, we did a complete compression test and all cylinders are virtually identical, two pumps per cylinder made 150 PSI, more pumps much higher and still identical across the board, less than 2 PSI difference!

Plugs look a bit rich but not wet at all, no oil usage.. what I thought was slight oil smoke out the sidepipes was likely mostly slightly rich running, possibly due to the PCV valve being disconnected

Shop that was doing the work seems to be the problem.. no understanding of these large bore super stroker engines. Many people have told me these engines must have a PCV valve or they will have problems (which is why I installed it in the first place)
