so, you're able to look at your clear tube while you're pushing your car into high rpm ranges?

Yes, racecars have catch cans for no reason.

for antifreeze, yes. they also have vacume pumps that pump out crankcase pressure into a catchca. it is a requirement to run at certain events. but then again your everyday boosted street car should never need one. stop trying to make an ass out of yourself.

So what about oil slosh from the valve cover under sustained cornering? Well, I guess that's not a problem for a street car, I see your point. I guess if you need a breather tank for a street car, that's one hell of a street car. Or a shitty engine design.
