Ya, that's what I've seen, the cam gears spray oil into the lines, then some guys say they get no spray at the front. I think I'll just go on the drivers side close to the stock locations, seems like it's best to make some drains in the baffle so oil can't collect by the vents as much.
This way there is much less oil coming through.
Hope you understand what I mean.
First I wanted to make some sort of baffle inside the valve cover... but at the front there is just not enough space. The fittings are to close to the camshafts.

Would need some good snow tires, but seems like I can at least postpone it a bit! 
I'd buy a thousand dollar shit box for the winter before I did that lol.
I do have a $1000 shitbox for winter beater, but it died on me.. Got it back up and running easier than expected, so I can at least postpone the use of the S2k until the shitbox decides to die again. 
I really don't want to use the S in the winter when they use so much salt on the roads.

Hmmm. Seems like I might have to start using the S2000 as a daily driver from January, as my winter beater decided to die. ~490whp and no traction control should be interesting in the snow!

Quick question I recently went FI (supercharged) and my afr gauge is all over the place when I'm driving. Sometimes it goes all the way to red before immediately coming back and posting a reading. At idle the car reads a a perfect 14.7. Any thoughts? I just need a peace of mind.

Using haltech I think you may be right about the throttle settings. The car runs fine and I've only been boosted about a month. I may just be paranoid trying to make sure there are no major problems. This FI stuff is stressful until you step on the gas lol. I guess it wouldn't hurt to check with the tuner.

I also had the Haltech on a 16 PSI SC setup and had some similar transient throttle issues after my first tune. A different tuner had better results with the transient stuff. Your description matches my initial issues as well. Its like you try to just barely get on the gas just a tiny bit while cruising and the mix goes lean and hesitates, but if you gas it just a bit more then it richens up back to normal and begins accelerating. Its all in those transient throttle settings. Read up on the help file and the user forums about all the settings in the transient throttle setup and just start mildly tinkering with them yourself one weekend. That's what I did and I was able to tune out most of the issues myself.
