it actually looks like he's routed it the correct way from teh pcv to the catch and back to the intake. can't see the can to be sure, but it looks like it to me.

Look at the PCV valve and the stock hose on it. He has it going from the intake to the can to the breather inlet. Its supposed to go from the pcv to the catch can to the IM.
Some more info.

i just saw that. too early for me to be making educated decisions. he needs to switch those hoses around.

It seems like people are saying to run the catch can only off the pcv and not to touch the crankcase vent. What would be the drawback of running it off the crankcase ? If you wanted to couldnt you run a catch can off both ?

air goes from the crankcase into the motor, and that air has already been filtered by the intake filter. the air going from the PCV valve to the intake manifold has oil and dirt in it. so you need a filter there to clean the air.

so the vacuum created under the valve cover is greater than tthe vacuum created by the intake manifold, or the intake itself? not from the pic on mckinney's site.

it looks like the vacuum created by air under the valve cover is greater than the intake, but the vacuum created by the intake manifold is even greater

there is no vacuum in the valve cover, there is actually some positive pressure at times....

Try this little experiment. Disconnect the line that goes from the valve cover to the intake (the one without the PCV valve). Start the car and put your finger over the fitting on the valve cover that this hose connects to. You could just let the engine idle, or you could rev the engine a few times. Let us know what you find out.

On the track car, I actually run a baffled catch can between valve cover and intake manifold, and I also run a baffled breather on the valve cover. The fitting on the intake is just plugged. I do this to keep any oil out of the intake tract.
