after catchcan runs like sh@$% do I need to do some tuning after converting to catchcan or do I need to change something I did ?? I used a T fitting to connect both valve cover breather lines and ran it to the catchcan with a filter breather on it, and simply capped off the Tbody and manifold. now it will not idle and runs crappy, and I am even getting backfire through the Tbody when I give it gas. could it simply be that I didnt have the MAF hooked up? or is it the tune or the way I set it up? I ordered a second catchcan to run one on each side so more volume can exit the crank easier but it hasnt got here yet. or should I be looking at something else? thanks for the help.

yes more info please...
FWIW, when i removed my PCV valve from the intake manifold port, the car wouldn't start or idle. When i put it back on, the car ran fine.

yea I am not running a pcv setup at all now. I was running a pcv switch valve setup on both lines from the valve covers, but now that I am running 10- 12 PSI that system was failing (I was getting a bunch of oil in the intake pipes, manifold etc.) so I switched to the catchcan setup. should I go back to PCV on the intake manifold line and only use the catchcan on the Tbody line? with 12PSI ? also I plan to turn it up to about 15PSI eventually. will a PCV valve hold up to that ?? or shoudl I just go with the dual catchcan setup I am planning on. it is MAF tuned which seems to be working fine for me at this point. the MAF ends are ported to the max possible port and I changed the MAF table now I am fine tunning from there. the only problem I was having was with oil in the intake which I am hoping this catchcan setup will fix. thanks again ~Guy
