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.

I kinda want one just for the bling ! Although I would pai t over the chrome with satin black ....

I have a "catch can" / air oil separator in line with my PVC
