I know this has been beaten to death, but..

I'm setting up my pcv system for my 355 LT1 with an F1A.
Should I,

A- T the vent hose from ps valve cover and the pcv valve on ds intake together and run to inlet of blower with an air/water seperator somewhere in between?

B- Leave the pcv line on ds intake like stock and run the vent hose from ps valve cover to the blower inlet with an air/water seperator?

I have seen both these methods being used as well as countless others, so i'm looking for some advice from the other guys making decent power that have been down this road already.
Thanks!

Well this method defintely hasn't worked for me yet, but I made some tweaks to it this year and I'm going to see what happens.

Frustrating I know. Seems no matter what there hasn't really been a tried and true straight answer on how to do it on an LT1. If you do B I suggest putting an air/water seperator on the pcv line. Mine picks up A LOT condensation for whatever reason. It couldn't hurt that's for sure.

I just ditched my dual catch can setup and will now be switching to an evac style setup...but I'll keep my air/water seperator in place on the pcv regardless

friend of mine told me to run a line from each VC. into a "breather tank". Said it's worked for him and his buddies, so, thats what I am using, works fine for me too.
