[alfa] alfa power
Andy,
Ducting the crankcase blowby gasses into the induction will not decrease
horsepower. I believe it's something that should be done; it makes the car alot
more environmentally friendly. The use of a filter (like the one shown in the
IAP catalog) is not for filtering the gas on the way out, but for filtering air
as it may find it's way back into the crankcase during hot soak and cooldown
time. Emission control devices that reduce power include mechanics that run off
the engine (airpumps) or restrict exhaust passage (catalytic converters),
among others. Burning crankcase gas is a real and easy way to do the right thing.
