yep saw his cans, nice setup. Right now I have rubber line going to my catch can and am going to go to 10an line and fittings. Possibly 12. I was also told the size of the vent line makes a difference also. Might Mouse also increases the line size to 12an now I believe.
Makes sense to me as I was told that too small of a vent line causes pressure buildup and then more oil is sucked out, the larger line it's easier for it to vent and then no pressure buildup so less oil is sucked up.

[QUOTE=fast89stang;19635329]I actually bought the cheap ebay fabbed covers. Buddy fabbed up the baffles inside. welded the bungs in the covers. they are at the intake side of cover in the front. People say they don't work well, and they don't help. I just let them keep on believing. LOL Id almost bet money you pull mine off and lose about a tenth, if not a tenth exactly.[/QUOTE ]

​​​​​​​do you have any pics of your setup

This is the Allston brand. You can see its chambered also and stepped. Fair price

Unless you special order it with 12's it comes with 10's still. But you need the correct restriction depending at what HP your at. There is a chart. The most HP these cans handle is 1200HP and that requires a -12. If you hook both 3/8's ports up from your valve covers to a Y, then a -12 from there to the can, it will give you enough. 1000HP is the -10. 500Hp you only use one 3/8 for example.

Pretty basic looking setup. Looks very well made too. Very nice.
