Default Breather by- pass

Is there a way to do the by- pass with the stock a c ? Cleaned the throttle body and I'd like to keep it that way. Not ready to do the stage one yet. As usual, when I tried the search, I get the no match found.

Default No help

After reading the entire thread a second time, I found nothing on doing the bi- pass on a stock a c. My Indy says don't bother, since I get no oil in my air box . I'm going to do it anyway, for all the obvious reasons. I figured out how to do it for about ten bucks, and it will be invisible. I'll submit a full report when it's done.

I'm confused (easily, I might add)
If:
you found nothing
Indy says don't bother
there is no oil in the air box

What are "all the obvious reason"???

How about the obvious reason that the scavenging through the intake of the crankcase is actually an important function of engine performance? When the crankcase sees negative pressure, there is actually an increase in engine performance. Positive crankcase pressure is bad.

Hmmm hot oily air into the intake stream boosts performance? I'm gonna have to wrap my mind around that one.

Have you read the breather by pass thread? Are you saying all those people that have done the by pass are wrong?
I haven't heard a good reason Not to do it.

When is there negative crank case pressure?

Only make sense if you work for the EPA.
