You could use a vented fill cap if you are running a Speed Density system. If you are planning on running Mass Airflow (MAF) you need to run the "vent" hose to the air intake after the MAF meter. Otherwise you will have unmetered air running into the engine, it will cause problems.

yes the pcv will b on the passanger side and yes im running mass air.. is there a way to run a vent line to the driver side .. all the tall baffled valve covers only have a hole for the fill cap

A quick Google search found this: Moroso : 68450
Note: Inside cover is pilot notched, making it easy to cut out openings for a PCV valve, breather or oil filler cap; includes grommets
