    SO I recently eliminated the factory air box and installed 4 pods now I’m up to the challenge of tuning but what is the best way to go about the crank case vent should I make a bridge to distribute the vapor or should I just put a breather on it?

    Yep. It seems to be a drawn out hit and miss methodology. At the very least save the carb to airbox boots and use them to mount the pods.

    but on a awesome note after adjusting the carbs, syncing them and with the stock air box it starts so easy and runs better than ever

    Yep, Fitz is right.... Get those valves adjusted first then do a colortune and sync.
