woops i actually posted under my buddy's account at work.

i was really looking for an answer why to run it off the VC, but now i understand why i should run it directly off the valve cover. Since there is oil being pumped up through the head, thats basically the "final" spot where oil is delivered before it runs back down through the block. So running the catch can off the block would help remove some contaminant, but the vapors that are up in the valve cover would still be recirculated back into the intake.

So now my next question is, is it best to run it off the PCV or off the fitting on the right corner going to the intake?

Leave the smaller PCV line alone. Run it from the right corner of the valve cover.

Another example for the "bad" bin.

Your small PCV line is doing nothing. Zilch.

For a drag car, that you don't care how it performs (and spends little time) at idle and low/medium load then it is okay. You've removed have of the system though. Go read up on the N/A guide for how that part of the system works and why it is important.

Got my catch can yesterday and installed it. Ran a line from the pcv to the can and from the can to the intake manifold. Figured this would be the most efficient
