I will be running a FAST - XFI system in my car, which does not use a MAF. Now i know SD cars go nuts with any vacuum leak and i will be plugging the pcv valve opening in the lower intake. Would running breathers in each valve cover result in a vacuum or would I be fine because it's in the crank case?
 
You're good as long as the PCV is removed...

You don't want to be pulling fresh air into the crankcase, then into the intake.
That would be a vac leak.
You could tune around the leak with the FAST system, I'm sure...
But why would you?


You can't get vac in the crankcase without a source from the intake manifold, or maybe a pump if you're getting wild...
