454whp??
Just curious, how do you handle torque steer? What kind of diff do you run? Steering? Suspension?
I am a retired Engineer and for the life of me I can not figure out how you could get the car to go straight.

It actually runs really straight I've never had a problem with torque steer. I run a Torsen T2 Diff, and a stock steering rack and some B&G coil overs.

so quick question.. Your saying the design of the jlt and everyone on the market is designed wrong? because I have the JLT and I have had it from 1000 miles and the oil and oil vapor it catches keeps all that junk out of the intake manifold ( I have taken it off before and checked at 10,000 miles and it was bone dry). So I see what you are saying but in theory it will work the same if it were returned to the manifold vs the driver side.

So want to give a parts list, where to buy/prices and some dimensions on the pieces?
Also wouldn't be better to pull a vacuum on the PCV by running a tube down to get a venturi effect? Or installing a 12 V fan accomplish the same? Engines have been pulling a vacuum on the PCV system since at least 1965, while opening it to atmosphere will vent crank case pressures it is not as effective.

As for your vent to atmosphere not being as effective it has already been covered in this thread, It is very much effective.

Sorry i will not be giving out dimension or a list of parts. I will be selling these on here as soon as the admin gets back with me. I can send you a list of everything that is included if you are looking to purchase.

Venting is a good idea. I think electrical heat shrink for a 250 to 500 mcm cable would work for attaching to the factory fittings. It would be nice to adapt an AN fitting to the valve covers - any ideas? A set of sheet metal valve covers would go very well with this setup
