ventilation

I need to know what I need for proper ventilation.I have 1 valve cover breather and that's it. I am just not sure that's enough.or should I hook the other side to my exhaust to draw even more out?

88 carbed 5.0 tfs heads..030, b303 etc

I just run the one breather and have a hose that goes from it to a catch can. It does like to shoot oil out from 19 lbs of boost lol

i bet. lol. thats good you dont get any blow by or anything without it. i wasnt worried about that, but im not running 19lbs lol.

i had a blown headgasket. at least i think i did. but i never really found coolant in the oil. but the inside of my valve cover was caked with creamy white substance. so i had this hunch that i never even blew the gasket. it was a fresh setup. and i did do lots of real short cold drives, tuning it. and had a new exhaust that i had to show off to my buddies as they came over.so there was a lot of short startups to. i just wanted to find out if that could have been caused by this and i replaced the gasket for no reason.

thanx for the help man. i really appreciate it.
