pvc

If you have a engine with a big cam and performance is your goal, why would you want to run a pvc anyway? Just use breathers in your valve covers and vent the crankcase pressure. The oil mist that the pvc sucks up is not good for performance and may cause pinking (spark knock) I use
two breathers in each valve cover. While not practical for street use most racers now use vacuum pumps to keep a negative pressure in the crankcase this lets the rings seal better and lets them use low tension oil rings.
