I just put in my A-trim and haven't tapped the pan just yet, but can I just put that drain line to my valve cover and plug the tube to the TB? Will it drain back into the engine, or is it gravity drained? I figured since the oil will be going into the supercharer at aroun 60psi according to my autometer gauge, that it would push it out of the blower as well?

Can I run it like this just for a day or 2 if would even drain it this way?

It's gravity feed back to the pan. With the return line (to valve cover) being higher the blower would probably hold to much oil in it and may get pulled past the seals in it.
