Don't do it. It's not worth it. I did and paid the price by having to remove the front accessories off the motor to replace my front crank seal. PCV is good and having 2 breathers doesn't give you an ounce of squat in more power just an ounce or two of oil on your driveway every day. This wasn't a budget rebuild and quality parts were used on a brand new motor. Plus without PCV you'll be changing your oil more often.

what he said, i resuse my previous PCV valve in my new 383, than i realized where my oil gone, so when i contacted pete k and engine builder they both said put new PCV valves ans make sure u have baffles inside VC's so, the result less consumption of oil. Iam good to go, already logged happy 5k miles on it. Mos90: very very impressive numbers and engine as well. I assume its at crank #'s.

i had a pvc on and it did nothing compared to the 2 breathers and i was getting oil build up in the intake so i took it off. a pvc system will do nothing at wot.
but.. im thinking the car will run a 10.8 at 126 once dialed in. and a 9.80 at 138 on 250 shot.
