I've been searching around and was wondering what would be the best thing to do with the system. I have a 2000 SS with the stock system and a AMW catchcan.

If you don't want to pump it you could put a evac in the header.

I was wondering the same thing. I have a Brand new elec. vacum pump off a new volvo and i was wondering if i could run both valve covers to a Y in to this pump to remove the gases?

I'm not following what either one of you are talking about. Please explain.

Well i was thing putting a Bung on both of my valve covers with hose someing off in to a Y to bring them down to 1 hose then runing it to a elec. vacum pump. I have no idea if it will work but i was hopeing some one would shed some input on it becuse i oculd do it for very cheap.

The only thing I've found browsing through the sponsors site is the conversion kit from stock LS1 PCV system to LS6. Then adding a Metco breather.

I have seen a lot of the faster guys runing pumps off the crank but non of them have ever posted on there setup or anything like that.

I removed my AIR system and was thinking about using my AIR pump for this but haven't found anyone using anything but a crank driven evac so I don't know how i well it would work.

I've been suggested to put a breather on the filler cap and on the opening of the driver's side valvecover (in the back) and completely get rid of the PCV system. Is that ok? The other suggestion would be to put a vaccum on the system, but I wound't know where to begin or set it up.

BAM-BAM

Ok I'm confused and unsure on what to do. There's a few people saying that they ditched the system completely and put a breather on both valvecovers, then others say that really doesn't pull the fumes from the crankcase and to use some kind of vacume. Another option was to do a drysump system. Well...for those who don't have big bucks to spend on a drysump system, what would be the next best alternative. I'd like to pick up some power in this area even if its just a few, have good venilation, and get the fumes out. What do you suggest?

Jeramy,

the breathers allow crankcase pressure to vent out of the engine. This results in better ring seal which equals horsepower.

A vacume pump goes one step further. It actually pulls a vacume (Pressure less than 14.7 PSI - AKA: Atmospheric pressure) inside the crankcase. This means even MORE horsepower.

I would recommend going to a motor plate and a vacume pump. Not only will you find some HP with your current combination, it will be worth some significant power once you put a big stroker engine in.

I picked up around 15rwhp by using an Aerospace 3 vane pump. I have a CV Products relief valve set at 12.5".

ok i been following this. where do i get 2 breathers from that will work? and on the pass side valve cove do i block both the 90deg nipple off? the one in front and back? then the nipple on intake gets blocked off right? where the pvc whould go? and the nipple on the TB gets blocked? im just trying to make sure everything i need to do.
and what line needs to be caped off on back of intake? i take it that i need ot keep the big one for the brake bosster. and the small vacum hose. do i just cap the line for the pvc off the back of intank?

and will this be ok for a car that is driven alot on road? reason im following this is that my car eats oil like made threw the pvc and intake. thanks for the help and sorry for all the ?'s but id like ot know

Ben R, thanks bro for the help. Makes more sense now. For now, I'm gonna hold off on the motorplate, but a vacume pump/system I'm really considering.

LOnSLO, wow, thats a nice gain. Where did you get these products? Do they have a kit with everything you need or do you have to piece this together? Was the power you picked up with this modfication only? Thanks.

I found 4 Moroso pumps, one in which is for supercharged/big cube motors on Summit and boy they're expensive. The cheapest one is $360. So that leaves me with 3 to choose from. However, its just the pump, no kits. Where can I find complete kits for our cars?

Dragaholic

Is this mod not something that too many people do? Just wondering as I can't find any info on this nor has anyone chimed in about except one. I'd like to buy a complete kit for the car. Anyone have a lead on where I could get one?

Ben R

PM 383ss and see if he can help you out any. I believe he was using an Aerospace Components.

Vacuum pumps are expensive, yet you won't see much of a gain unless you're using some low tension second and oil rings. I expect to see way more power gain with this next motor due to an extremely light ring package.
