For the simplicity of just getting the dyno done. Can I just block the TB port and vent the 2 Valve Covers to my catch can and leave the stock PCV things alone? Or will it hurt something to continue boost it like that?

Some people run like that all the time, so I'm sure as a temporary measure that you'd be alright.

So I got the plugs in the car this weekend, got the catch can mounted but I have a question about the PCV system, who doesnt right ..

I mounted the can behind the bumper to where the bumper support use to mount, is there any negative side effects of mounting here, too low or anything?

2nd what do you do with the PCV line? Right now I just have it plugged at the intake and the 2 valve covers running to the catch can. What should I do to keep some kind of pcv or is it needed?

One more thing came to mind today, I was going to "hot wire" the fuel pump, just using a amp kit and a relay. But when I checked the voltage at the pump it was reading batt. voltage so I just left it alone, Of course this was at idle but should I be fine or do the hot wire just in case?

Well .. results are in .. Video should be up this afternoon (the shop recorded a better one than I have) and the Dyno chart will be posted tomorrow along with the actual tune log file from the dyno run.

We were not able to hook the boost controller up as the car was just making too much power on the spring .. 7.6 psi on the spring with 16.5 degrees of timing on 93 octane the car put down a very impressive 547HP 507ft/lb of torque corrected!

Now the guy that tuned it has never tuned with HP tuners before so there are a few idle issues and things I have to work out but the driviability is perfect and AFR through the curve doesn't get above 11.7
