Tuning is the long term goal, short term is get the damn thing running. I have heard of a couple places around here I can take it to be tuned, so I am not too worried about that. I'll let a shop tune it first then I will play around with it.

 

Sounds good to me ! ..with that motor it should do very good , and be alot of fun ..Lew

 

I personally would just put breathers on the VC's and pulg the port on the intake. If the PCV ever fails open, and you're under boost, you will pressurize the crankcase.

Program the transmission to lock into 3rd, when in gear, and have it lock the converter as soon as you get into the throttle. The will keep it from upshifting to 2nd and allow as much torque to get transmitted to the wheels as possible.

Motor looks killer btw!

 

Now you two got me thinking about the PCV valve...

Can you tell me what kind of problems this would cause if I didn't move it?

Then why have them at all?

 

On a N/A motor, you don't have to worry about positive pressure so it will almost always vent pressure from the crankcase. It's not like it will fail every time, as soon as you put a blower on it. You may even run it for years and never have a problem with it. But if the PCV does fail, the one part of the motor you don't want to have boost pressure in, is the crankcase. If you decide to use breathers, make sure the valve covers are baffled to keep them from being oil soaked.
