Sal, what type of intake do you run? So the intake and valve covers determine which method one uses (i.e., closed valve covers and puke tank versus breather caps and PCV)? I actually have the Shelby intake, not the Edelbrock RPM. I'm now wondering if they have a breather tube in the front of the intake and a vent in the rear.
I am running the Blue Thunder intake which is a copy of the original Medium Riser. It has a fill tube in the front with a breather cap on it. When you buy it new, it also comes with a plug for those who don't want to use the fill tube.

If you use the fill tube, you can't have a PCV. If you use the plug, you can have a PCV. You can run a PCV two ways... either coming off the valve cover and going to the intake/carb (to be injested into the engine) or off the back of the intake and to the intake/carb.
