Guys with SPEED INC. breathers I'm running the SPEED INC. breathers for their billet valve covers and they are just soaked with oil in no time. What are you guys using to clean them with? I don't have a K&N filter charger kit but I'm thinking that it may work just fine on them. What other methods is everyone using.

I would leave the breathers oil soaked. Kinda like a K&N starts working better when it gets full of ****. It will restrict flow better, because you don't need the entire area of the breather to be open. You only need a small opening to vent out the pressure.

It is ok to keep then oil soaked, but the consern I would have is that if he has that much positive crank case pressure, it will continue to blow oil out the breather and possible start through the Crank Seals or even blow the seals out.
If your not going to run a PCV system to keep some neg pressure, then run a vacumn pump and a catch can.
Nice setup..!

Prochager D1SC coming this fall. Not sure whether to get the LS6 valley pan along with a catch can and keep the breathers or keep the LS1 valley pan and just remove the breaters and run some braided line into a Y-setup into a cat can.

I was going to suggest that product, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. I love those valve covers! but im trying to figure out where the coils could be mounted and how long the wires have to be. Sorry to hijack, but I'm thinking of getting some valve covers since i switched to 241's.
