Default I need vaccum...

The motor is a 11.5:1 CR 355 LT1. I am having a problem with too much crankcase pressure, in turn it is blowing oil out of the fill cap on my valve cover and getting everywhere...

I've run a vaccum setup which pulls from both valve covers and runs to the TOP hole on the throttle body. Does anyone know how to pull more vaccum?

The pressure has already caused a leak on the bottom of the timing chain cover in less than 1500 miles, which has caused the freshly painted underbody and parts to be covered in oil...this sucks...

there is a system that works with your brake booster called hydraboost, google it. its reccomended for cars with a lot of cam since the cam takes away vacuum. not entirely sure if it works on an LT1 but if u search it, it should tell ya!
