Stock setup runs a "breather" That's what the pass side valve cover nipple running to the tb before the blade does. Lets it pull fresh clean air from there.

it will be close to a stock radix type setup but not exact, from what I'm reading it should be a non issue. If it becomes one, I can always add a second breather.
