Question Pcv grommet?

Do any of the baffled grommets work?

I took my new combo out for it's first drive and after getting up to 3500rpm the pcv sucked oil and I smoked the road. Had oil in the right hand tailpipe.

Capped the pcv to get me home but it's pushing a bit of oil out of the dipstick onto the headers.

The pcv is in the after market valley pan connected to the back of the Victor under the carb. 2 open breathers in the valve covers. I have 12" of vac at idle.

So is my problem that my grommet isn't baffled and that's why it sucking pil at wot?Would I be better off trying a valve cover pcv and baffled grommet?

Engine had cam broken in and rings seated on the dyno.
