electric crankcase evacuation pump?
i'm planning on installing an electric crankcase evac pump and was wondering if anybody had any pics of installs or any tips/tricks/advice?
in the latest summit catalog, i found a vented nut that has o-rings for installing on the valve cover... seems like a good idea.
i've read that HP gains from 3-6% can be found by using a crankcase evac pump... this seems like a LOT. any comments?
thanks in advance!

IMO, you're only going to gain HP if you have higher than normal amounts of blowby and the vacuum applied to the CC seats the rings better. But in order to do that, an electric pump isn't going to flow enough. A mechanical/belt driven one maybe, but now you're talkin' big bucks.
I wouldn't waste my time or money.
