Yes, I run mine off the drivers side cover and then to the back of the J-tube on the back of the supercharger.

A catch can catches oil out of the crank case so it doesnt go into the intake.

I have one on my TBSS mounted to the firewall in the same location that LBSBLOWN does. I have a TVS, not a radix, but its basically the same configuration. I installed the catch can about 3 months ago and have a few thousand miles on it. I drained it for the first time this week. It had a good 4+ ounces of oil in it. Only reason I thought to check it was it was dripping excess oil down on my header pipes, which I could smell.

Good looking truck LBSBLOWN. Nice and clean. :thumbs:

What would be the downside to venting both valve covers with an 18" or so hose that ended about at the bottom of the motor?
