Catch can goes in line with the pcv line and catches the oil vapor and keeps it from going into your engine. Of all the goofy things people do to protect their vehicle, this is the most overlooked/useful thing you can do.

Geno, has anyone at full race pulled the heads and checked the valves for deposits? With not just raw oil but the vapors as well I'm curious if Ford's magic is keeping them clean?

I put a oil separator on our GT500. It has removed quite a bit of oil on that system and it is only 10 lbs of boost. Would more boost produce more???....I don't know...

BTW it only needed one on the passenger side. Fore some reason the driver side showed very little oil. Typical of the gt500 though...
