    Catch cans and baffling

    Hi Everyone. Do catch cans need to be baffled? Will a sealed baffled catch can filter better then one with steel wool? Any one that has tried both systems? For a VZ that burns very little oil.

    Plenum spacers

    does any one have any stats on the difference a plenum spacer makes to power economy and heat reduction? I got a 12mm spacer but I think did not put the gasket maker on properly, so there was a vacuum leak and freeway economy went from 10L per 100k too 5.5L per 100k.
