Smoking out the breather valve.... I took a look at my car today, I totally got rid of the PCV system and put a breather valve on the valve cover, and it smokes pretty good at idle..
I had 2 choices on what to do..
#1 put a base tune on it, and drive it home, but not ever be able to smash the pedal....
#2 throw it on the dyno, take the crap shoot, and hope it all goes well, and be able to have a car that drives normally, and I can mash the gas..
I went with #2, what do you guys think?
I had an issue with the car last time it was on the dyno with popping a head gasket, but since then I have new heads, and the compression has been dropped a full point...it will be dynoing on 93 octane...
I need some more opinions, what do you guys think??
