Breather lines go in, then one comes out into im asuming that other sealed canister at the front and then out of that into?... There are many other cars doing quicker mph but slower eg. in the 11's. Maybe I am making use of what power i have very effectively early on in the launch. I do a 1.50 60ft time. But who knows...if you check under the drag racing tab on the top of the page, you will see me 2nd on the list for street class....click on attachment for official timeslip. I also have dyno sheet for power output. But either way, pretty happy with result.
