Default STS guys come inside

What are you guys running for a pcv system? I know there is a huge topic about this right now but those guys are running a much bigger system then me, i just want to know what you guys are doing to take care of this problem with the pcv system?

I plan on running 8psi.

yea, i was thinking about that but it sounds way to difficult and expensive..i want to just have to change my stock ls1 system to work better for boost.

random side note...any dyno #'s for your setup...it looks to be very similar to what i will be running and i am kinda curious

No numbers yet. The car is actually supposed to be on the dyno today at Synergy Motorsports. I think the transmission got in yesterday.

i am getting ready to install a breather can on the rt side of eng, front side of rt head, from what i hear that is a good system it relieves pressure to atmosphere, catches oil and is inexpensive at 89 dollars. http://www.vacmotorsports.com/cgi-bi...l?man=Peterson this is the web site that has the catch can we will be using. i just got my sts gt67 installled a month ago , just found out my A/R is .96 sts is sending me a .81 should improve perfromance . ill put up #s after the swap.

I run the outlet line from the valve cover to my AMW catchcan. From the can it goes to the STS PCV solenoid, and then to the PCV. The can catches the oil, not the intake. I get about a teaspoon every 500 miles from it. I also don't have the STS PCV vent spraying oil all over the engine this way too. An added bonus.
