Where does this tube actually vent too? Talking about the vent tube on the pass valve cover that goes to the throttlebody. Im running a super vic and different tb so where should it go.

The red tube in that pic is what pulls the fresh filtered air, the blue tube is what pulls the vacuum and the not so fresh air. It's also where the PCV valve is. The red tube can be placed anywhere behind the mass air flow senser but before the vacuum tube.
ETA: if you have a catch can hooked to that red hose, it ain't doing nothing. Catch can goes on the blue vacuum hose. Air enters the MAF - some enters the red tube and goes into the engine - after passing through the engine it's ultimately sucked out with all of it's bad stuff by the blue tube - enters the intake and is burned off in the cyclinders.

No, not really a problem, actually it's easier now. If you want a PCV system then just run a vacuum line w/ PCV valve from the LS6 valley cover to what ever vacuum source you want, then cap all those little vents and run a breather in place of the oil filler cap.
