most of the catchcans on ebay are not very effective. they don't do a good job of pulling the vapor out.
i would check out the cans the RevXtreme makes or the one from Mike Norris.
the RevX comes with a built in PCV...so all you do is run some tubing and mount the can.

there are a couple companies that make really good catch cans. here are the two of them that seem to do really well.

RevXtreme has a really nice can. I just purchased one and am quite happy so far.

RevX or Saikou Michi are the most effective cans currently on the market. Here's another interesting read: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...ls2-427-a.html

no i deleted my whole pcv system like 2 years ago. i gave the pcv away. im running the small breathers on the valve covers and plugged everything else. the only problem is it spits oil vapor all over the valve covers and i lose oil eventually. it lets condensation inside also.

Do you have a ton of blow-by happening? Worn rings?
With breathers on both valve covers there should be no crankcase pressure at all. But with alot of blow-by it'll spit out oil.

In that diagram, if I am not mistaken that passengers side is like a 1999, but 2000 (?) and up only have one line up front out of the valve cover but basically the layout is the same as far as plumbing to the catch can correct? What if you have the ls6 pcv mod, any difference?

Nice work on the drawings. Would you be willing to make up a drawing for A PCV system for a forced induction setup? I already have a design for one that works really well but would really like a slick drawing like the one you made. The FI guys are all over the map with a bunch of crappy drawings and some weird ideas. I picture like that is worth 10,00 words. I would certainly give you credit for the help. PM me if interested and we can go from there. Thanks
