Default Moroso crankcase evac system

Any problems or downsides you see to running this on a street motor?

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

Since I ditched my pcv over the winter, I've noticed I've got some oil coming out my breathers. Always seems I've had a little oil seepage out the oil pan gasket as well.

Average carbed sbc 350, est 430 hp and 100 shot of nitrous.

Any problems or suggestions?

Yeah they dont work when your not WOT... Anything less than WOT produced actual pressure in the crankcase on my new motor, after 2500rpms and WOT it would finally get like 2" of vacuum.

Won't work if you have any exhaust piping behind it......only for open headers.

Even with open header (i.e. cutouts at collectors) it wouldnt make any vacuum untill I went WOT... But it came on about 1000rpms sooner than it did with the exhaust going through my 4" mufflex kit.
Either way you look at it, if your not talking about a drag only car that doesnt ever cruise at part throttle, or idle for very long, or have open headers it not gonna work properly.

Better off running a vacuum pump or a setup like Might Mouse has on his car if your car doesnt fall into the above described category.
