Default Need Vacum and PVC information

I am building a high horse power LQ9 (two of them actually)

I am running a hydroboost on both cars do I don't need vacum for brakes, I am not running a vacum control fuel pressure regulator (using the vette one)

The valve covers I have for both motors have no PVC or breather locations on them.

If I am not worried about emmissions, so what or any vacum and or PVC connections do I need to worry about?

We are using a Professional Product intake on one and a FAST on the other.

Thanks

I would look into running a vacuum pump. It would help seal the rings and evac. the engine at the same time. The stock PVC draws to much oil into the intake. The LS6 is better as it draws from the valley area not the valve cover.

Again with the PVC? Pretty sure its PCV...Positive Crankcase Ventilation.

Anyway, a vacuum pump setup is gonna be complete overkill, but I would just run the LS6 valley cover and maybe a catch can.

Oh my bad. The LS6 cover is what I'm running on my build with a small air to oil (water) seperator for an air compressor then to the stock PCV going into the intake. It seems to work well.
