Any Quick Fixes? Does anyone ealse have a problem with blow-by at the track? The only time it gets blowed out is at the track. I have a problem with the dipstick being blowed out and making a big dam mess. How do i fix this annoying problem? I have the procharger unit on the car and it only has 8lbs of boost.

Check your PCV system, do a search...
Sorry for the short response, I had to run somewhere, yea your pressurizing the crank (sounds like it), do a search for my name and you should find everything you need.

One simple quick fix that we've done in the past is to install a carb throttle return spring on the dipstick, which when done correctly keeps tension on the dipstick.
This is a bandaid as to why you are building up crankcase pressure. Typically in a 1/4 mile run you are in the throttle longer than you are on the street, which is why you are seeing it only happen at the track.
Do a search on here, and I'm sure you will find pic's of the PCV layout. Bob

if you are blowing oil out your dipstick hole you either have a hole in one of your pistons or boost is getting the crankcase via the PCV valve (should have a check valve in line) or the vent line on the TB is still hooked up to the valve cover.
Been covered a lot of times here so the info should be easy to find.
