what to do with Optispark vent lines?

Just thought about this, what do I do with the optispark vent lines now that I'll be boosting the engine?

I run the suction line to the intake run of the ATI blower. The other is located underhood in a clear spot (I do not run filter and check). Yes, you can get stuff sucked into the opti with blower FI applications. Recommendation... rivet your contact to the plastic rotor. They tend to explode under high current and centrifugal force. App... 97ss 383 - D1 - M6.

Suction line to the intake of the blower. Vent line in stock location with check valves in place. You definitely don't want to pressure up the opti so check valves are important.
