Run two oil filler necks with scotch brite pads rolled up inside. Then mount a breather to the end of them, it works great on mine.

I had the same issue, remove the PCV's on the valve cover outlets, run straight hose, it solved my problem. Having said that, some of my problem was condensation/moisture building up in the oil which raised the oil level, raising crank pressure after a hard run. I brought up the water temp and removed the oil cooler, all seems well now. Good luck with it Rob, nothing like the feel of a Procharger "kicking in".....
