Hi Sparky
I can't remember ( alls chimers ) if you run a puke tank for the dry sump
tank breather. I made the mistake of using a K&N motorcycle type filter
directly on the top of a short bung on the dry sump tank. Suspended oil pushed
through the filter and was the cause of my fires on my first Texas runs back in
05. I went to an AN-12 line that runs back to a baffled dragster puke tank at
the rear of the car. It still pukes a bit but it's captured instead of blowing
on the headers! I like it much, much better now! LOL
At present I plumb the tranny and QC breather lines into the same tank. I'm
considering plumbing them into the engine crankcase vacuum port and put
negative pressure on the tranns and QC seals. It keeps them from leaking any
gear
oil. Why do I picture someone with their lips sucked into their mouth??? LOL
Also, the gears will rotate easier in a vacuum! They will be sucked around
like a fan if I place the vent opening strategically! Dave, help me out here,
what are the calculations on that considering a 9", 4.10 ring gear and 15" of
suck at the port next to the ring gear teeth? .000000001 mph increase? LOL
I'm doing it. It might push me into record territory!
