Vacuum evacuation system installed...
When I had my carbon fiber half shafts and driveshafts installed at Van Steel today - I also had them install a vacuum evacuation system.. This system replaces the PCV system. Instead of sucking hot and oily air into the engine through the PCV system - that air gets sucked into the exhaust... That system also creates a vacuum in the crankcase which helps piston ring sealing and adds compression that way...
I'm already noticing one consequence of that system.. The smoke that I had at idle is around 70% less because the oily air is not getting sucked into the engine where it was burned (which causes smoke)...

Better have good baffles on your breathers, or you'll suck the oil right out of your engine....
Or so I've heard as to why not to run them on the street.
