i just did a 3lb install on my car, and grinding down the snout was not fun, mostly due to accessibility,
at some point in the grinding process, i began to regret even doing this job with the blower still on the car.
Considering the time spent masking off the whole car in preparation of metal shavings getting everywhere, cutting off the old pulley, building a custom puller, pulling off stock pulley, grinding the snout, and then pressing on the new pulley...
I could have spent that time or less removing the blower and intake manifold, and had the whole thing out on my bench, easily remove and install new pulley in a hydraulic press, comfortabley grind or lathe the snout down, drain sc fluid... etc
Yea... 1.5lb pulley seems like the better choice for most,
Michael star, cool intake, but I've seen in another thread on here, someone made a very similar inlet on his STR, and it actually killed power,
although the 3" tube you have going now may flow a bit smoother, the stock tube's oval design i suspect has considerably more volume than a 3" round tube,
hit the track and trap speeds will say it all, let us know how it tests,
As for catch can placement, eh, the left side going to the inlet tube will see more vacuum under WOT, compared to the throttlebody side PCV, which functions under idle/low load conditions,
then again, I don't find that my inlet tube is very dirty with oil at all, while the throttlebody PCV hose does in fact seem to be the oily one... so based on that observation, avos is probably right,

I've never done the 1/4 at a track so bear with me... isn't it mostly WOT? If so, I don't think any learning is needed since it uses OL (open loop) fuelling I believe i.e. looks at MAF, adds fuel for air seen (also looks at IAT of course). Most other sensors are checked just in case of faults / to avoid anything bad (such as IAT2, which if too hot pulls timing or some such).
Maybe avos will have ideas.
