Hi Rick,

I am certainly no expert in fuel systems and only a basic understanding of the
DCOE. I would tend toward going with the T to both sides method as any affects
would be evenly spread across all four cylinders rather than two cylinders.
There really isn't that much flow through the PCV and when you compare it to the
air coming into the carb, so the affect doesn't amount to much.

The only concern then should be the affect of T-ing the two intakes together. I
just can't see how there could be an adverse affect from this, especially since
the T cross section will be so much smaller than the intake.
