I've been eyeing one of these for a while and I'm trying to decide if I should just get one.
I searched but didn't see many people talking about them or if they are worth it.
So who's running a adjustable pcv?

I have one. It seems to work well. Here is a rather lengthy thread on them:

ME Wagner PCV Valve - A semi-brief review
Hi all, It was Jane's 55th birthday the other day and I'm insane so I bought my car a birthday present because I felt that if I didn't, it would come back to bite me in the ass. This year's gift: a ME Wagner dual flow PCV valve! In my defense, I actually was in the market for a new PCV valve...

Excellent! Thank you

Yes! There was a "clatter of chatter" on this subject just after Kelly's post last summer, or so. Go for it! Shame you missed the discount deal.

ME Wagner will do more deals if someone is motivated to seek more people to purchase.
Who would I contact/message to talk about starting this? I've got a little time before I actually need it

My earlier report on the Wagner PCV pretty well sums it up: Wagner PCV Valve Is The Greatest
I thought it would be someone here. Thanks
I have one 2, one engine since new and the other is my street rod that doesn't get a lot of miles. The street rod never leaked a lot of oil but what it does seems to be greatly reduced maybe eliminated. The other motor doesn't leak a drop so I think they help.

I have one on my '68, which has gen 1 Edelbrock ProFlo injection. I've been happy with it so far but haven't driven
that car too massively since installation. I do like the cold throttle response off-idle, which is much better than stock.
(It used to pop into the intake at a quick throttle blip, even though the valves are set correctly. Was very annoying.
Although the issue does go away when warm, I like the improvement I'm seeing with a cold engine)
The other thing I like is the Wagner valve did away with a persistent dip in start-up rpm..... used to almost die
about 3 seconds after cold start-up. Doesn't do that anymore.
I have another ME Wagner unit I'm about to use on a '48 Ford flathead, where I'm putting in a PCV system and
deleting the road draft tube. Should cure a lot of the stinkiness I'm "enjoying" inside the cab.

OR, run a header evac system and skip the pcv entirely. Takes some work but I am running one and works well.
I've been running these on each of my muscle cars for over 5 years now with no issues. I recall talking to the father and son team that design and build them and being super impressed with their knowledge of performance engines and how to dial in these units just right. They're like jewelry for your valve cover. Beautifully crafted pieces. Knowing the PCV is dialed in just right is worth the premium price to me. I view as similar to shocks - sure you could buy ones for less that fit the holes but the savings isn't worth the time, hassle, dissatisfaction, compromised performance.

Indeed they do work, but not so well with a muffler and full-length exhaust.
