It's doing OK. Still working my way back up to 20+#. Leery after the last meltdown. The lower compression and bigger snails seem to spool slower. Not noticable most of the time but I used to be able to do a 3rd gear brake boosting 60 roll and have it launch really well before but now it lags. Need to start in 2nd and quick shift to third and even then it loses boost in between shifts. Still getting it sorted.

Do you still have the 2.5" DP's or the 3"? The 3" should help with the pressure differential to get them spooling quicker. I've only been up to 16psi on mine so far, with plans for 20+. Have some transient fueling table work to do for when the boost starts ramping in. Haven't touched the tables yet, and I get a little bit of stumble from 0 to 5-6psi and then it clears up and boost shoots up to target really fast. I haven't tried a brake boost yet.. will have to give it a shot and see how it reacts. I don't know how you're getting traction brake boosting 3rd though! I can only get traction in 3rd by letting it build from 0psi and doing a short burnout on the et street II's before hand.

Looks clean to me
I had to get a breather like the one you have, I got a black edelbrock , My oil cap blew off. lol
What plug wires are you running? Are they gm? If so , part # would be appreciated

5 Liter Eater

Oh yea, here's a pro tip on the wires: Katech. Best around and happen to be the cheapest.

Do these covers have oil baffles like the stock covers ?

i know this is an old thread but can anyone tell me how you drilled out the tube, I have a set i'm wanting to this do this as well but i can't figure out how you drilled it out, can you remove the tube???

msd wires are crap
i had them now i got ultra 40s bad ***

Pulled the fittings off my Proforms yesterday to have some AN fittings in their place.

What wire sets are you guys using for the fender coil relocations?

5 Liter Eater

Yea twist it and it'll pull out. Then it ~presses back in (by hand).

I figured that out after a couple of sets not clicking on positivetly and then just disintegrating. I ended up with Accel ceramic boot wires.

How did you install your an fittings? Did you cut the end of the hose barb off and then use a compression fitting?

blown81bu

how did u fit the an fittings in that small hole?

FLYNAVY30

can you just thread that hole and then use a female NPT to female AN fitting?

blown81bu

yes i did used a pipe tap and 1/4" allen head plug...was next size up from hole size...

I think he's talking about using that as a vent, not blocking it off after tapping.

I don't remember exactly what clearances were under there, but I don't think it would be as easy as just tapping large enough for say a -10AN bung off of it. The baffles underneath it are very close, so you would have to cut down the NPT thread length a bit to not smash into the baffle.

I drilled out the holes I pulled the elbows from with a 1/2" drill and had -10 male fittings welded to the angled faces directly over the holes. Looks good and now I can attach my braided -10 lines to the vc's.

FLYNAVY30

yea, I just pulled the stock fittings, but one broke, so I had to drill it out....looks like the stock hole size was 3/8, but I think I wallowed the one out a bit, so Im going to drop them at the local machine shop tomorrow and have them drilled to 1/2 and try a 1/2 NPT to 6 AN fitting that should work nicely with my breather that came with 6 AN fittings....or I may have just ruined one of the two valve covers....we'll see

LedfootLarry

At the worse , have AN fitting rig welded , and refinish valve covers.

FLYNAVY30

so the issue isn't so much tapping the hole to accept an NPT to AN fitting, its the fact that the relief in the valve cover around the hole isn't big enough to allow even a 3/8 to 4AN fitting. Since theres an internal baffle, I may just find a straight barbed fitting that I can mount one of those small breather style K&N filters and vent it right to the atmosphere.
