SO the last time you saw an update, i had JUST got the car back from fabrication, it's been almost a month and FINALLY i've gotten a break from 60 hour weeks to work on the car.

I have some questions. Catch can. I've been told to install the can with one end feeding from the UIM to the can then back to the oil spout. Do i need to install some kind of check valve or a way to vent the system. It seems like i'd pressurize the engine without a vent, but with a vent it would seem to be a boost/vac leak.

Spark plugs. Looking to run 350-375 rear for now, should i be running 2x9's and 2x10 or 4x10's (Heat range)

That's it for now, enjoy.

Hey what's up, no, if you want to put a catch can, one side of it will go to the oil filler neck and the other leave it open. You don't hook it up the manifold unless you want that stuff to burnt(I'd say no), which would then need a 1way valve-much like the stock setup. By the way, I posted your setup here:

HAHA fantastic!
I will have 'prettied up' pictures shortly.
It's SOOOOO close to being done i can taste it. It's a good feeling to finally see the end. Just gotta do the small tedious things like put the front end on, i had to have a stud custom made to get the knock sensor to fit on.
Any idea on the spark plugs?
