With the can setup like this (for forced induction), here are the results.

Is this setup alright to run? This is what I currently am using. MightyMouse, if your can would be better to use, I would consider buying one.

I just got one of MightyMouse's catch can units with a check valve for boost. Great piece, especially for the money. I highly recommend it.

MightyMouse I bought you're can sometime ago. How should I set it up for a procharged Ls1. The top port goes to the procharger bottom two ports for the front of each valve cover?

This setup is straight from mightymouse. I ran it like this with my Vortech setup and it worked great

ive had several ask about -an fittings.

best bet is you buy the fittings and tell me what NPT thread is on the back side, and ill ship the can ready for you to screw them in

If it is on a LS1 (non LS6 valley cover), the rear port on the passenger side valve cover would connect to the TB (NA setup). If your boosted, the rear port on the passenger side valve cover would connect to the filter located on the head unit (turbo & supercharger) and cap the TB.

Hopefully the picture he just posted helps. I'm sure he's working on a few more diagrams for all the different setups.
