482 Shelby/big cam motor...I have K&N breathers on each valve cover (with splash plates under the holes), and I have the screen mesh/tube to the original-style oil separator/"puke tank" on the firewall, which then has a "road draft tube" to dump all the crap into the air so it smudges the he!! out of the front of any Prius morons behind me.

Works muy goodo right up to 7,000 or so, at which point I start having anal leakage anyway.

Works muy goodo right AT to 7,000...Not so "muy goodo" in stop and go traffic. IMHO

Hehehe...and just what would your humble opinion be based on?

I've driven this thing in Fresno heat in stop and go every doggone summer since 2003...when the temps are way past 100 degrees (not something you'll see alot of in SB I suspect) with a big cam (.680 lift). Runs exceptionally cool (185-195), never hesitates, never stumbles. About a dozen folks watched it idle at Ontario two SAACs ago in 100+ temps for about 45 minutes while I charged a dead battery...never got past 190 degrees and held idle at 800 rpm the whole time. It starts easy, idles easy, doesn't blow oil out of the breathers, the carb never loads up, etc.

So again giggleass, since you have an opinion about how my car runs, what is it based on?
