I HAVE A 99 350 THAT HAS BEEN A HUGE AMOUNT OF OIL WITH NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WHERE IT IS GOING. IT HAS A HIGH REAR END RATIO AND STICK SHIFT, SO THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A GREAT AMOUNT OF POWER, THERE IS NOT ANY SMOKE OR EVIDENCE OIL IN THE EXHAUST PIPE. WHERE IN THE HECK IS THE OIL GOING???

Check your fuel filter for signs of oil contamination. If you have torn / leaking lower injector o-rings, the high pressure oil will push into the fuel rails (all the way into the fuel filter housing), where the oil is burned. There are a lot of us that burn waste motor oil at concentrations over 50% with little to no smoke, so you can't use tailpipe smoke as a reliable indicator of burning oil.
