Ok, so heres my problem, im pushing the dipstick out of my car under WOT, its been doing it for awhile, and has been a problem ive been chasing. Does anyone have any experience with how to stop this? I have 1 large breather in the p/s valvecover, and a super slim one in the d/s valvecover(because the RPMII intake sits pretty close to the valve covers, which are aftermarket). It still has the PCV valve in it which is routed to the back of the intake, and the valve shakes and moves freely as it should. Im wondering if its crankcase pressure problems, or maybe the rings finally are starting to shit the bed. It also has sprung a small oil leak recently which is coming from the front of the motor from the disti/timing cover area, and it puddles some in the alleys of the timing cover(still have to find source of leak). Thanks in advance for any help guys!!

I would recommend installing Moroso's Crankcase Evacuation Kit. It will pull all the extra crancase pressure out through the exhaust and help promote ring seal and increase HP by a lot.

Ive seen these setups before, but always thought it was kind of old school, and the thought of oil dumping through the exhaust and possibly hitting the slicks makes me a bit nervous lol. But I would be willing to try it if ya say it works, you seem like you know what your talkin about and your car runs like a mofo
On average, what kind of power do you pick up with a setup like that?
Ive also heard(may be a myth) that these systems dont work on a fully muffled street car, any truth to that?

Who told you that? I have always run them with mufflers and I am running them right now with mufflers and no PVC. Absolutely no problems. You have 2 choices if you are building ecxess crancase pressure. Run the evacuation kit or get a vaccum pump to suck it out.
You do not suck oil into the exhaust, that's what the breathers are for,. They have filters in them.

Blowby enough to push the dipstick out in a N/A is usually not good news. If it was me I would do a leak down test first and see what you come up with. If everything is within acceptable range, then try getting a remote catch can for the driver side valve cover; that breather is not helping you much.
Depends on the car. I picked up about 25 hp which gave me about a tenth. That was when I was running a low 12 second car. I have never run without them on all my new engines. I'm sure there may be a ring sealing issue or possible more. If all checks out I recommend you put the kit on. It will help all around. even if you have a major problem, when it's fixed get something to pull out the extra pressure. It's not good for the engine.
Yeah im really leaning towards the rings being shot, ive probably got over 100 bottles run through the car, so its probably time for a freshen up anyways lol. Ill have to do a leak down test on it this week. Im def going to order that kit though, i NEED to get rid of that problem, and its been something ive been overlooking for awhile like an idiot lol.
