Here is a little mod I learned that requires only a few small parts and makes a difference. Basically we took out the oil cap and put a breather on it. That freed up some of the stress on the engine. Then we took out the both sides of the pcv and put a pcv breathers on each side. We plugged the opening on the intake and the supercharger with vacuum plugs. It really makes a difference on higher revs once we made it past roughly 4000 rpm the pull was significantly more and the supercharger screams.

What was the boost increase? Do you know if it's safe to do so?

Where did you get the oil cap breather?

FYI - I did this on my Whipple'd GT and the smell from the breathers was too strong and I ended up putting the PCV hoses back and added an oil separator. I have a convertible, so I am sure that did not help the issue.

Hope these pictures help. We left the original lines on it because they did not have the breathers for it. It function the same as the other side is unplugged, so it lets the air out that way.The oil breather we got from Autozone. It is ridiculous how different it is. I put it on the freeway and it pulls like hell. I lost traction just punching to the point where the car went sideways in second, something that never happened before. The difference is very noticeable. I would recommend it to anyone. There is no harm to the engine because those are just there to circulate the air back in to get used. Like this it does not go back keeping the engine and supercharger cooler.
