And, a bigger cam (and now headers) and I'm far more handsome.
I'm not going to comment on the handsome part, but I will say your truck is very quick at 1/4 throttle!

That may be true but your Abarth (silent H) looks like it would be a lot of fun!
Quite a bit of exhaust noise coming out the back. Do they even use a muffler with the turbo on that car?
A smallish catch can on that unit would be a GOOD idea!
Factory straight pipes!!
Good Norming:
The catch can is a standalone unit. It doesn't need an aftermarket intake.
I mounted may catch can in the battery box as the box really hasn't done anything but sit there empty for the last 10 years, anyway.
I used the grounding bolt (and hole) for the passenger headlight to attach the can to that area. But it can be mounted (of course) in other areas as well.
Drill a hole in the bottom of the tray and now you have a spot for the drain line to go through.
The low profile Viper valve covers and the (poor) baffling system make it easy for the Intake to ingest surprising amounts of oily crap as you can see inside of the accordion tube that attaches to the throttle body. The catch can will really reduce or eliminate this mess.
Catch cans come in a variety of designs with some working better than others.
This oily crap has a low flash point and will compromise your ignition timing (kind of like using low octane fuel) and when your engine pings (2005, 2006 engines with knock sensors), they may/can pull timing and reduce engine power.
The need for a catch can on engines with direct injection (NOT OUR GEN 3s) being used as a performance vehicle (like my Ford F-150 EGOBOOST) really rises. Those engines inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber so unlike our engines where fuel is injected into the Intake Manifold and can "wash" off the Intake Valve face as it makes it's way to the combustion chamber, the direct injection engines have all of this oily crap roaring through the Intake Manifold and sticking/burning to the valves. This happens in a VERY short time.
You should know better than to talk cars on a Sunday morning when the coffee is around as you are likely to get WAY more information than you wanted.

Hell, I think the problem is that there is never enough car talk over coffee.
Agreed.
WAY too much importance placed on Global warming, beached whales, blood moons, 3-eyed salmon, the alarming number of cooking shows on t.v., nuclear fuck-ups and other potential indicators of the end of the world.
We really need to get back to automotive performance basics as the topic of discussion
no longer called that, temp hasn't changed in 18 years, now they call it CLIMATE CHANGE…………………...
