That is the return line from my bypass oil filter. I originally had it going into the side of the valve cover but it wouldn't fit there anymore after I installed Opie's valve.

This set is very streetable, I have been driving it back and forth to work (50miles a day) for the last month.
I also drove the truck for 2 weeks with the stock injectors and single stock pump with the smarty tnt/r. These twins worked awesome even with stock injectors and a stock inj. pump. I had the smarty on 9 and could not get the EGT's over about 925. I even hooked up the trailer and had my car on it. ( 4K-5K lbs.) and left the smarty on 9 and still couldn't get the EGT's over 1000. I even dusted a 6.0 ford with the trailer and car on my truck.
I drove the truck last week with the injectors and pumps and it will daily drive just fine. I originally had the smarty up around 7-9 and wild TM and it seemed to do all right, no excessive smoke unless you wanted it. But it did seem to haze quite a bit without being able to control it. So I turned it down to 3 and cut the TM back to moderate. Now it doesn't haze hardly at all.
I thought of doing my twins in blue but it is a more common color and as far as I know I'm the only one with lime green twins.

I didn't relocate the battery I took it out completely along with the grid heater relay. My truck doesn't have any grid heaters or fuel heaters anymore. So far the truck turns over a slight bit slower but always fires right up, even at 19 degs without the block heater. I may eventually relocate it underneath the truck but for now it seems to do fine.
