FWIW if you've got your valve cover ports going to the intake tube or TB then you can get oil into the intak tract to where it'll drip out the filter. In your application I think air coming through the radiator would blow that oil all over right?

So your saying they need to go to a can and then back to the TB or just block off the TB ports and run these lines straight to cans?

The first time out on the track and only have PVC line issues...that's not to bad at all. That's something you can get sorted out pretty easily. I'd offer help, but I don't know the answers. I don't drive mine hard enough to need anything other than the way it came from GM.


The gearbox, shifting, and exhaust note all sound excellent in the video.

True.

The gearbox was definitely worth the headaches! I love it. Wish it was a 5 speed but it works great.

Neat idea using push-connect fittings vs. rubber hose.
