what is the best position for the tubes in the headers? Ive seen them installed a couple of differnt ways.
I prefer the flat of the tube to be parallel with the exit of the collector

that is the one way ive seen it installed and the other way looks the same but the tube is rotated around 180 degrees so the angled end faces the exit of the pipe. I would like to know what is the best way.
not sure I understand you, the tube is placed at a 45* towards the exhaust. I think as long as you have the tube towards the rear of the car you are ok. Not everybody has room right on top of the header like that.

This question will probably sound really dumb, but how much vacuum would a stock PVC setup and the stock breather to air cleaner tube put on the crancase in comparison with an evac setup on the headers?
This is the land of the free

Have you ever syphoned anything with a blow gun and compressed air? What way is it most effective? My guess would be to have the angled cut of the evac tube paralell to the collector. I would turn the tube 180 degrees and leave the 45 degree entrance angle and see what happens.
Did you get yours in?
