How do you guys run your breathers?

I wonder if the torque roll is indicative of the low X or not enough trim.. It has been a long while since I have felt at home in this boat. Haven't seriously driven it is 2 years. I punched in the data into hill slip calc and it came out to 7.5%. Hard to believe with a stock non-labbed mirage and stock X dim. I think my tach may be in question....Anyone else got any ideas on the torque roll??

From my experience the mushrooms seem to leak and the clamp on get saturated and also blow a mist of oil onto the motor. I have had the best luck just running them to the flame arrestor as shown on my weak mock-up. What are you guys doing on your custom set-ups?

RIC232,
The black fitting on my KE valve covers have a baffled floor and 1" NPT female thread in them. I got 1"NPT to -12 AN fittings and went with a -12 fancy Aeroquip hose nipple (45 degree). The hose is nothing more than 3/4" heater hose with some stainless overbraid and more fancy Aeroquip hose clamps. Overall I have around $150.00 in the fittings and the hoses. Hope this helps and I hope it works.

Brad, Assett says you were getting 5600 RPM. Is that through 1.5 or 1.36 gears? If it is through 1.36 gears I come up with about 13% slip which should be about right. My spinelli comes in at about 13% and the Hydromotive is less at about 7% slip with the Spinelli being about 1-2 MPH faster. Now if you are running 1.5 gears your tach is probably off.
