LS3 Custom Install Hi newbie here would like some help please.........
I have installed a stock LS3 in a mid layout car, the intake is spun 180 degrees with a custom flywheel and adaptor plate by Kennedy Eng mated to a Porsche Getrag transaxle, I have installed the fly by wire throttle and am running a GM Performance stock ECU and loom.
My problem are the breather pipes I'm not sure how these should be connected....at the moment I have the two valve cover breathers connected to the crankcase breather and the two throttle body breathers blocked off. I'm not sure this is right as it doesn't pick cleanly.... I'm not running a MAF sensor at the moment but intend to fit this in the coming week when my tubing arrives and I get my air filter box constructed. The picture is when I picked it up from the exhaust man....oh and the steering wheel is on the wrong side.....
Any help would be appreciated....

Thanks for that link, goes a long way to answer most of my questions.
The car is a Ultima CanAm, I have just received my intake tube around a foot long, I'll mount the MAF sensor in this and get an air box made in the following (I hope)....... here's a link to what I'm doing, I'll post the results if anyone is interested......
