Default PCV Setup w/ Nasty Valve Covers

First post to the sites as finally doing some performance upgrades to my 2002 SS.

Looking for recommendations on how to run a PCV set up (or not) with a set of Nasty Performance valve covers.

Thanks

I dont believe those valve covers are made to use a pcv setup, there made for breathers. im not sure if they have an option to be able to use a stock pcv system, although im not sure why you would want to anyway.

I think you'd want to switch your valley cover to the LS6 style. That will allow you to maintain the PCV system, using the LS6 style, instead of the LS1 style (using the valve covers).

You might need to do a little dremeling on your block, though its not that big of a deal.

Thanks everybody. I've decided I'm going to do the LS6 valley cover trick and then hook up a line from the right VC as the vent.
