what I meant in my post earlier was, you don't know how much crankcase pressure you have at WOT (wide open throttle) not wow

Too much vent, better than not enough

Is there a reason people seem to vent from just the passenger side vc instead of drawing from the passenger vc and the valley cover as well? Why don't you want to evac from every vent?

Dont know if correct or not but was told that is the way these LS motor was set up. Plus dont get that much from the valley cover. Pulls air in from the pass side and lets it out on the drivers side. Robert

Valley cover is easier with raised runner intake. (central location)

Venting both valve covers = 2nd best on our cars

Venting one cover= ok if line is big enough

Anything less could rob power with too much crank case pressure

And then there's vacuum in crank case using air pump= best power

Throw a breather on the oil fill cap and plug the rest. Done and done for 600rwhp. The nipples in the valley cover and valve covers are too small to vent much.
