Good looking build. i do have 2 suggestions..

1. Dont cross over your fuel line in the front. For a FI setup, the best way to run your fuel system is to feed the back or the front of each rail individually via a Y. then come off the front/back (opposite end of where you fed them) and go to your FPR. itll give the injectors on both bank even pressure/flow.

2. those harlan sharp rockers are going to break. the stock rockers with the trunion upgrade are your best bet. I was going to run them and AES told me to save my money along with me seeing a lot of them break.

just my .02

Thanks for the advice I'll look into the fuel system suggestion as far as rockers they are the stock ones rebuilt upgraded with c clip by Harland sharp do you think I'll have a problem with them?

Drain is ran into the top driver side of the pan and feed is coming from the clean side of where the oil filter goes.

I'm a little worried the blow off valve may be sitting a little high not sure the hood will clear it
Well I guess my hood issue was not an issue

Got the alignment done yesterday and took the car out for the first time i put about 25 miles on it when I came back to the house to check everthing out i noticed some oil dripping under the car i popped the hood and noticed it looked as if though a mist of oil was spraying my intake and the back of the fire wall it mostly looked wet on the driver side. My guess is my valve cover seal is bad but im not 100% on this, ill do some more investigating has anybody else had this happen know of a possible cause???

Oil pressure sending unit is behind the intake on the drivers side, maybe check there?

got the oil spray issue fixed, I replaced my valve cover gaskets and also my driver side valve cover had no pcv valve on it, it was capped off so I got a valve placed it in there and ran a hose to a T valve and connected it to the passenger side pcv port on the back i capped the front one and ran the other side of the T to my catch can. So far it seems to have taken care of that issue.

Oh I don't blame you. Not looking forward to it on mines also. Looking at your video I kept looking at the EBoost2, instead of seeing numbers I kept seeing WOT WOT WOT

Glad to see that car back on the road after all the time it spent as a paper weight in your garage! When you get it broke in and a good tune in there let me know... I'll race you from 31st to 29th Ave! Hahaha
