Wow... well first of all.. i never new bout the problem ls1s had getting a hole in the lil PCV hose.. and last nite at the track my friends were making a quick fix on one of my buddies car.. so today i thought id check it out... didnt think anything was wrong cuz no SES lite or anything.. but dam..that things was all ripped apart.. what happen was the last person who had the car put electrical tape around it to hold it together.. 
so today i took all the old stuff off, including the old PCV, and put in a new pcv valve, and new tubbing. there is a very noticable difference! feels alot less slugish throughout the power band... car takes alil more to start now.. i dunno why... ima have my local shop check it out.. but for those of you dont kno bout this..like i did..CHECK IT OUT! it could just have alil tiny whole.. that is sucking in air.. and makin ur car not run rite...

How often should we change out PCV valve and at how many miles. I have 34k on my car and have not touched it yet. Everything still looks and seems fine I just want to know when you should change it..
