Should I Not Be Using This Breather???
So I bought one of these crank case breathers, and didn't remember seeing that they weren't ment for cars without NOS or a Blower. In another post Pipedreams says someone else can explain better why it's not good for n/a engines. 
If someone can shed some light on this i'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I must say, I just loved the look for the very cool K&N breather I developed for the Blown and sprayed guys. Problem was so many also loved the look and wanted to use it on the normally aspirated LS1 / LS2 / LS6. Putting a breather on a normally aspirated motors causes issues.

Okay so above is a link to the thread I saw before ordering the breather. And it did say it was ment for Sprayed/Charged cars.
So it's my bad, but is it really not good for N/A engines? I have a catch can too, which is working cause there's about an 1/8 of inch of sludge in it after a couple hundred miles. If it's really not good for it, I guess i'll switch back to the stock oil cap.

I assume you mean valve cover breather?
I've been running a VC breather on my N/A cars for 20 years and have no issues.

I've always ran one on my old school cars, like my 67 Camaro with no issues.
I just got confused when the vendor that's selling them says it could cause problems on n/a cars.
