is this everything i need to bypass it or will i need to weld ect ect? pics will great on removing the box ect ect
Back to the original post, do you need to keep the black box that goes under the IM when you add a catch can?

From what i've read, drain back is the way to go.

I bought this one from a HT sponsor (but in black), it's bad ***! How much is the AFI one you're looking at? This was about $275 and shipping was super super fast

The guy you're quoting about the T1 catch can having issues is kidding. The T1 is a drain back and is a great kit. You'll be fine, drain back is less maintenance

How can you put vacuum on the crankcase ALONG with being able to displace the CFM of each piston, in and out of the system? Say you somehow are actualy able to get a strong vacuum INSIDE the crankcase, Would The amount of CFM you would have to pull from the crankcase @ each displacment not have to match the CFM being displaced by the piston?quite a bit. Also to pull vacuum vs moving air, the opposing side of the vacuum source would probably have to be restricted to 1/2 the flow of the vacuum source, otherwise your just moving air.

and as far as a drainback being a nono, wow all the dyno pulls and 3 years worth of passes this engine has seen i guess means nothing.

have you ever twisted an engine to 11k running almost 150mph without a drain back? i have and my catch can filled every pass. since i have drained it back i have not had 1 issue.

i can see the arguement on a daily driven car, BUT, twisting an engine hard, at the track it will fill. and when there is no where for it to go, it will find its way onto your tire. but what do i know?

guess all the guys running t1 style cans with drain backs are having issues.
dude i don't know about your set up bro but im at the track 24-7 and i don't run a drain back and my can never fills up like you sayin yours do.

Just a quick question, I'm in the same boat as many with the question "Do I run a drain back or not?"

So let's say I have the ports from the valve cover to the breather box BUT I don't want to run a drain back, do I still remove the black box on the back of the block and put in the freeze plug and just leave the allen bolts as they are?

since i live in illinois and humidity is horrible around here what are you guys doin to keep the moisture in the air serperated from the oil in the lines or the inside of your atmosphere vented cans?

i had a b-series with a vented can and the white build up in the lines and VC was disgusting i personally will never run another vented can.

anyone have the part number for the fitting that goes in the allen screw home for the line to hook to.

i have been running a single -10 in -10 out drain back, and it fills with every pass i got a new catch can with 2 in and 2 out so i need the extra fitting for the block.

thanx

some people use steel wools but the best that works for me when i was runing a drain back was a bath scubber.

I wouldn't use steel wool if I was running a drain back, steel wool is horrible for oxidizing and can really let some horrible stuff into you oil, and since it's so fine alot of bits of it can end up in your engine. I'd use something like a load of stainless ball chain or similar
