Might be just the pics but it looks like the PVC to your cowl is smaller than the fitting on the throttle body

I always wanted one of those. How reliable are the engines? As in how long do they last being used for what they were made for.

Not bad, I always question those performance vehicles and newer vehicles if they will every last as long as some classics. Like my xj, Im about 15 miles from 250k. Doubt a 2012-13 anything will last that long. We will wait and see.

What is "rackin it out" ...? If you mean driving like a 16 year old. Yes. They can. The car was DESIGNED to "rack it out".

Just noting, ok didn't rebuild it because the scratches from the passion are more than .060 deep, so I'd have to bore it more than .060 over..and it still has to be a dd.
