Hey Guy's I wanted to pick your brains a little . I have used the evack systems on my car for years but recently one of the one way valves broke and it made my engine puke a lot of oil everywhere. I found the problem but went back to a standard PVC setup because it is still a street car. What is the down side to using the PCV at the track ?? Just wondering because it works great on the street even when I jump into it a little. Advice or opinions welcome.

Thanks guys , I was wondering about the vacuum at WOT myself. I have played with it a little on the street but not at WOT so that is a concern . Wonder if I put one evac tube on one side when the exhaust is open and leave the PCV on the other side ?? Like I say I am just fishing right now for the best of both worlds.

You would be contaminating the intake charge which could cause detonation, plus creating deposits on the valves & pistons. 2cts. Wonder how much it would do that with Very limited street driving ??

I've always ran a pcv valve on my street/strip engines and never had any issues with any build up. When we dynoed my 434 the pcv valve was worth 4 hp. I like the sounds of that, Thanks. Extra HP and ease of use too. Nice !! No problems at WOT ??

Get an air -oil separator, problem solved. Okay got my curiosity up . Are you talking about like the ones on air lines from a air compressor ?

Here's an adjustable pcv valve. I'd like to try one. My street car has a breather tank on each side of the radiator with 12an lines going to each valve cover. http://mewagner.com/?p=444

So you have catch cans on both sides of the engine ?? Filters on the catch cans so they can breathe ??

Thanks Cab , I appreciate everyone's input. I think I will try to run it next year with a PCV and if it pukes a little take my evac system with me just in case..

i have a couple of those i got for my toys a few years ago when there was a group buy here. unfortunately, i haven't got either of my toys put together enough to try them out. i truly believe these things will do the job intended, plus they are rebuildable. as to the separator, how about one of those recommended for the new challengers and chargers ?
