If it works great for you then keep it.
I'm not sure why you would run a breather and then still keep the PCV line that can pull oil into the intake manifold. Isn't the point of the breather to be able to remove that line?

I will see if I can't get it from Fran.
It basically climbed good but at 5700 it dropped right off back down to 363. At the shop there they thought it may be the rockers playing some role in valve float. I thought with Patriot Gold springs I would be fine.

If it was valve float you would know for sure, your dyno graph would flatten out, not drop and it would feel like your car was just hovering in RPMs, the springs should be fine. Don't forget the converter is going to eat some of that power up, you RPM drop off could be the effect of the low duration cam. Post up your graph so we can see what you low/midrange power looks like. Pm'ing you to.

That's about right for that cam, those heads, through an A4. It's harder than some people think to break 400rwhp through an automatic with a small cam.
A custom cut cam would have yielded the same driveability and better results. The 224/228 grind is ok, but it's dated technology.

I may have track numbers before the graph. Going tonight so will post back.
