I just got off the phone with my engine builder. (I use this form to help me offer up intelligent questions to him so he can better diagnoise my problem).

First of all there are several very fast long turns both left and right hander as well as for straight aways with the longest being over a quarter mile with the other straights an 1/8th mile or less. Mixed into all this are a couple decreasing radius turns. I am running a Canton baffled oil pan and my oil pressure in the most severe turns does not drop below 40 psi.

Anyway after speeking to my machinist he suggested using a quart puke tank from Milodan with a breather filter mounted on top with a 3/8" hose from my right side valve cover breather to the tank and then another 3/8" hose over to my left side valve cover breather. He tells me this is fairly common with high hp engines that run oval tracks and road courses. I am going to go look at some puke tanks over lunch today.

As far as pulling 1G I can't answer that but my left should is sore today even though I am now running Ultra Shield road racing seats.

I will post to this thread later.
