Default Re: Adjustable PCV Valve

I played with those when I still had my flow bench. Mid '70s 454" trucks had the highest flowing I found at that time. Must have been ten years ago. An NHRA Tech guy made me take mine off. I still feel like that is wrong, but I try to follow their directions. My car came with one, still feel like it should have one. Gone now.

OK, we are talking a drag race engine here so why would you want to let crankcase pressure fumes enter the intake side and taint the fresh fuel charge?

I always thought it was a way to build crankcase vacuum. The bonus is the nitro in the oil going into intake charge.

Is this better than the sterno on the top of the radiator?

The tech sheets show the valve works with an idle vacuum above 7" Most of our stockers or super stockers do not have 7" vacuum idle.

Who says it has to work? (Or work as the emissions system was designed?;-)
Remember those NASCAR and other intakes with the drilled out mounting studs? This is a lot bigger hole.

Yeah, and nobody ever clipped a spring, with a restricted engine that, naturally, pulls manifold vacuum @ WOT, right?
