Default WTB BP4W valve cover

As the title states, looking for a good shape BP4W valve cover. Particularly, if you have one with breather mods properly done I'd be interested in that, otherwise an OE valve cover will work and I'll do my own breather mods. Let me know what you got.

Thanks,

Side Question.. How much power are you making? I'm using stock cover with both sides to a VTA catch can. Had about 1 teaspoon of oil in 3K miles of street driving. No popping out of dipstick.

Perhaps you are experiencing different results? I'm just wondering if you really need to go through that effort.

But I'm only running 230WHP. 115K on engine.

I have 1 each of the 96 and 99 versions and neither have the breather mods done. PM your contact if you want to talk.

I'm running closer to 260whp currently, with the intent to switch to e85 and make 300+. I currently have both ports run to a VTA catch can, and it works perfectly fine for street duties with similar accumulation to yours. Maybe a tablespoon of oil after several thousand boosted miles on the street and in the canyons. It's a non-issue.

However, one day at the track (and driving 200 miles each way) ended up filling it up 3/4 of the way or so. My research shows that the track guys like to cap off the PCV side of the valve cover and run all the venting through the drivers side by enlarging and/or adding additional ports, which is what I'm going to do next.
