PCV Delete...
Well,
I picked up a air/water seperator from work. Its bigger then the little ones that everyone else uses but I figured that'd be better to prevent a possible overflow condition. Anyway, I installed it tonight. I plugged the pass. side head and connected the seperator to the driver side. I'll watch it over the next few days/weeks to see if I get any accumulation. Since the blower install I didn't have a complete PCV system. I had been running an open breather on one side and the PCV connection on the other. Well of course thats a huge vacuum leak. I also tried just two breathers but they get oil soaked and start to drip everywhere. So i think this will solve my problem. Pic...

Re: PCV Delete...
Is this just an experiment or are you going to re-attach your PCV system at some point?

If you're going to bring up the tuning issue, what's the difference between closed PCV and no PCV? I'll let the long term fuel trim take care of it for now.

Just wondering because I am of the belief that vacumn that the PCV system creates encourages better ring sealing.

But yes, racers use vacuum pumps to evacuate the crankcase to increase ring seal but they don't make that much vacuum, only a couple of inches of mercury according to my buddy. I tried plugging one of the heads and just left the PCV connection to the intake vacuum connection and the engine starting making noise as though it was sucking air past a seal in the front of the motor. Engine vacuum is too high(or low) for evacuating the crankcase.
