Crankcase vacuum pump

Any of you guys use a crankcase vacuum pump? When is it needed?

Never really needed IMO...just frees up a little power. With your list of parts I don't think you'd even notice

I guess I'll just run the catch can setup still. I do need a check valve. What are you running?

I am running a catch can. One way check valve between the intake and the can, and passenger side valve cover vented to atmosphere.

Same setup I have. What kind of check valve are you using?
