Cams working great and breather unbeliveable S90-V90

Went down to my local indy that aligns front ends first thing today,(getting ready for a long trip to Merlefest music festival)got in and out quickly. Out on the road with the new lower control arms, tie rods, ball joints and sway bar links, car drives like new, Lower control arms from FCP were identical from what I could tell from origanil eqp.
Handling is great but whats as good, is the throttle responce with the new 4 inch air ducting installed from the idea that tjts 1 pictures on his air box.
Damn car is really fast now on top end, it rolls past 70 to 90 and further quicker than I have ever seen it, I mean it rolls. This is in conjunction with tweaking out the cams with a little advancing, feels great,Thanks Justin.
Now I have had a problem with blow by and I think I have found the problem, I replaced the breather box back about 4 months ago and I'm afraid that I have the middle o ring and pluming not conected right from the box, to the engine.
I put a hose into the flame trap hose and blew into it and heard air escaping near the box itself. Got my hand wired around to the box(not much room down there) and blew into the hose again and could feel air coming from around the back of the box.
If I remember correctly, wasn't there a post back some time ago about the new gaskets that go on these breather boxes, and how they could ,or were being installed improperly? I'm sure about one thing I have improperly installed mine with what I have found. There's a good bet that this is where the blowby I thought I had is coming from.
All help app as allways
