QUOTE (FASTFATBOY @ Jan 30 2013, 06:51 PM)  I had one on my '01 LS1 street car (never tracked or autocrossed).... not sure it actually did anything. I noticed no difference in oil consumption from before and after installing it. |

My car has an issue with blowing oil past the Crank sensor, its really weird.... the two times it has done it was on the last session of the weekend(Sunday). took a while to figure it out as I thought it was killing rear main seals.
I have run the car a quart over on oil, since I have a baffle in the pan I will stop that. I want a way to relieve crank case pressure, was curious as to how theses work....I mean, I know they work but if they blow oil everywhere while on track that aint gonna work. I can by an AN fitting that screws in the oil fill tube and put a catch can on, but don't see a place to mount one. |

You can also try a LS6 vallley cover. I had the Metco breather on another car but can't say it did or didn't do anything-lots of threads about them on ls1tech. Mine didn't blow oil everywhere but it wasn't a track car either. |

I have a revxtreme catch can on my race car. Depending on the track I'll fill the catch can up in a day. Old pic of my engine bay but this is the catch can setup...

I have a catch can on the car, just like the one above with a LS6 valley cover.
I thought about putting a Moroso style puke can on the car, but being a full on street car there really is no place to mount it. |
