    hi guys, what do you use for crankcase breathing? We run a conventional wet sump setup with a couple of exhaust breathers plumbed to the valve covers via one way valves. It appears marginal so am wondering if there is something more effective available without going to a vacumn pump.... (532ci - 4.6" bore, 4" stroke, 30psi boost)Thanks Graham

    are you saying you are running the valve cover breathers to the headers like a bracket car?

    Loose the check valves and plumb in the 1.5" min diameter breather tubes to a breather tank of 1 gallon capacity or bigger with a big breather on that,.....just duplicate what a current TA/FC or TA/Dragster is doing. Nothing more to do from there.

    ,.is this a door car with a collector header,..eitherway make a puke tank and plumb your breathers to there.
