Moroso breathers are pretty good, and don't get much mist. They are kind of larger, have a divider in them, as well as some 'mesh' (which looks like a cut up 3M pad stuff).

I get that at the strip you can make it optimum, but you can't switch tunes on the fly, you have to cycle the key, at least on Holley EFI setups.

I still shift my manually in some 'spirited' moments, my WOT shift points are set a little lower for general driving, and sometimes I want to hold a gear a little longer.

Yeah, if the vacuum source hose is long, and you used fuel line or the likes, It very well could be sucking shut, especially if it's at higher RPM/vacuum. Good thought.

Couple things.

Most machine shops now use a finish of 50 as SOP, since many OEs use steel gaskets, AND because many request it due to aluminum head availability.

Does your TrueTrac have a lot of slop in it that feels like backlash is out of whack?

You also mention 80-90w gear lube. Is there an issue with running thicker? 85-140w is very common.

Yeah depending on what your idle speed is, and load at idle, 13.1v might be about the best you will get. At cruise, as long as you have 13.6-7v then you should be good. 'Normal' is about 13.8-14.4 at...
