Anyone running catch cans in different vehicles? I've came across a couple video's that hint maybe the Hemi has more blow by then other engines. Anyone noticing this? If so any thoughts to why?

Side question, does anyone think the fact the stock 6 speed tranny is always in a gear too high for performance that maybe we can possibly get more gas in our oil, then say an engine that is is always taching higher or operating in higher RMP's most of the time?

I'm thinking of addressing both of these issues in my Ram this year, but I wonder what random thoughts are on this. Catch can is for sure, still considering programing out stock shift points.

I am actually looking at running a catch can on my wifes 2013 eco boost fusion. I hear with direct injection the top of the motor gets all carboned up with blow by and no fuel washing it down.

Another theory is "maybe" the light weight oil also contributes? Light weight oil itself can actually lead to that oil getting dirtier then if you used a thicker oil because thicker oils induce less blow-by material? If that's a fact (and that is a big if), then a catch can would eliminate that anyhow, yeah?
