I had a turbo blanket but I picked up a tbss oil fill tube and it is a little bit of a different angle. It was worth the 20 bucks when filling it with oil.

This is me too. The cap and till tube both rest on my blanket and it hasn't melted at all. You'll be fine if you run a blanket.

You can change the valve cover with the oil cap to the driver side, the oil cap will be on the rear but with a funnel it is fine to put the oil. I have it that way because of a side mount whipple SC installed on my truck.
