PCV Tubing

Hey folks! I did some searching but didn't find anything regarding PCV tubing on the SRT-10 engines.

I just installed a new CAI, and it requires new PCV lines to be run. I'm not content with the tubing that came with it, so I need to run new tubing.

I tried the local auto stores. Apparently they think a CAI is under some type of massive pressure. I don't need a 400 psi. rated hose. LOL

I would like to run the smallest OD-size hose possible (as close to the stock hard plastic tube as I can get). Step-up tubing? Step-down connectors?

Any suggestions or pics of setups would be appreciated.
TIA

I guess I'm the only one who works on their own engine.

Thanks. I have their catalog here and have used them on other projects.
Unfortunately, they don't have anything in the proper size that will hold up to engine compartment temps. IIRC, the highest they go is 140F.

Close, but still melted.

The reason no one has answered is that the CAI is not worth anything for any extra horsepower that you will even notice. A set of green filters and unscrewing the flap at the back of the inlet will net you the same as the K&N or any other CAI (but I have the K&N anyhow).

There are plenty of people here who work on their own engines, they just haven't bothered with a CAI other than the K&N.

Thanks Doc.
The CAI is also not a major HP add for the trucks. I'm not a dyno junkie, so I don't really follow that too closely. I have, however, noticed a +2 mpg difference since the CAI. I'll take all the mileage I can get.

Even with all the other modifications happening here, the PCV situation remains. Whether it be S/C, TT, NOS, or a combination of them, you still need to vent.
Thus my initial post.

My quest continues.....

If this is a common truck issue you might want to post in the truck section or you could post in the Gen I/II section where there is a lot more activity.

All of us SRT guys are just posers anyhow

I posted it here because I was referring to the SRT-era engine (Is "Gen. 3" a proper term for these?).
Since it wasn't specific to the truck I thought it would fit here more appropriately, and also garner more responses.

If you pose with an SRT, don't you have to be wearing a bright yellow thong?
