    Returning to the valve cover is the way to go. If you return the way STS shows into the oil filler neck, it can cause issues by pulling down on the neck. Bottom line is it's just not as stable. Meth may or may not be needed. If you are running a lower amount of boost (< 8psi) and you have an FMIC, then you should be fine. Plus, it's something you can always add later. If you find a used STS kit and it doesn't have an oil pump with it, there are ones you can buy that are identical to what STS uses and some others that may be a little better. Here's a link to a thread about them over on PT.

    Where to get oil pumps? - PerformanceTrucks.net Forums


    +1 on using factory manifolds instead of long tubes. Or if you use LT's, make sure to exhaust wrap everything! You should probably do that anyway since it helps everything spool faster. Keep the questions coming and I'll keep my eye out for you on a STS kit!

    You really should consider a twin kit. The rear mount will get old fast. The oil pumps tend to die. ETc etc etc. The twin kit has gotten really economical as of late. Twin or a single at least. The hardest part is drilling and tapping the oil pan. If I can do that you can.
