I'm not sure about catch can, I've seen people go without it and daily drive just fine. |
He stated he is going down a size in pulley so more power, heat, stress, and not the canned tune. Catch can is cheap insurance. How it’s driven also is a big factor. You benefit from a catch can when you are making boost, if you just casually cruise all day at partial throttle never hitting boost you don’t benefit from the catch can, but why go FI if you don’t want to hit boost all the time. It’s almost like making 500whp on the stock engine once on a dyno and then driving 50k miles never going above 10% throttle never actually using that power and claim the stock block can reliably make 500whp, I’ve daily driven it for 50k miles.
For a daily driver ONLY you can get away with the bare minimum, depending on how you drive.
However if this is his DD and he is tracking 3-4 a year he probably doesn’t want his car to break down on the track and not be able to drive to work the next day. I would definitely over build a weekend warrior car.
if it was a track only car and it breaks oh well, if its a DD only and never seeing the track than the risk is low, but if its his DD and he wants to track his DD 3-4 times a year it better be overly built.
