is that a custom made intake manifold?

does having both sides of the valve cover connected to the same air line cause any issues?

yes thats a custom intake manifold and i will be redesigning the manifold in a month or two.

NO it does bot cause a issuse, i just didn't want the pressure going back into the intake manifold.

well its not suppose to be rnu like that. seems liek he is pulling vacume from both sides. One is suppose to pull vac(the one with the valve) and the other is suppose to let filter air back in...so the other can keep pulling vacume. that way it circulates and keeps sludge build up and other nastys from happening.

Upon further inpection it does not seem like he is pulling vac for the PVC system at all because he is not hooked it up after the TB.

and its about damn tyme i might say my 12 sec mx-3 just doesn't cut it for me anymore. i don't get a rush anymore i don't get scared anymore. it doesn't even feel fast to me anymore. everyone that have ever ridden says differently. i need to step it up again.

as for the sohc project i need a trans and some other stuff. its a project on slow prosses
