Thanks again for that response, I appreciate it.

If your running 100% Methanol like the Alky Control system then it does help some, but to really make a difference you would need to spray nearly constantly like the old port injection engines did. If a standard 50/50 system it also will have some positive effect as well, but again, would have to spray near constant to really deal with the issue. Great question!
Eyefixstuff, it appears you answered your question, and there is no such thing as a "dumb question" if you don't know or are not sure of the answer. The Elite E2-X uses two separate outlets and 2 separate evacuation suction sources so the checkvalves not only prevent boost from back flowing into the crankcase, but automatically default to use the strongest suction source at any given time so pressure can never build to begin with. This is where the "vented" cans/breathers/etc. result in most of the contaminants that should be evacuated (removed) are allowed to settle and accumulate in the engine oil increasing wear and shortening engine life. Our system emulates a belt driven vacuum pump. Not as effective as that is your best solution, but vacuum pumps won't last more than a few thousand miles on the street as the vanes, bearings, seals and shafts wear rapidly.
Great dialog here! Questions are the best way to understand all of this. And you NEVER want to vent or use breathers as explained above. No Professional Motorsports have "Vented" since the 1980's as technology has advanced on proper crankcase evacuation.
