Default Ultimate PCV system without custom work?

I just ordered a Greddy oil catch can, and I also have a LS6 PCV system and a Metco breater sitting around. Would it be worthwhile to install the LS6 PCV and the breather with the catch can setup? I don't consume any noticeable amount of oil between oil changes, but I do get some in the intake and after reading about people catching water and other junk in their catch can, I decided I didn't want any of that stuff in my motor either. So, what is the ultimate PCV system without doing any kind of custom work to fit multiple breathers or an evac system?

I just pulled my intake off to paint it. I had ran it for 700 miles since I put on the LS6 PCV setup. The intake was perfectly clean with no oil in it.

How about this one?

Stock PCV hose from driver side valve cover to passenger side cover, Metco breather, LS6 PCV, catch can. How would that work?

I think that would be just about like running with the PCV hose unhooked from the intake. There will be a good bit of un-metered air getting into the intake and should result in positive LTFTs.

You would be better off using your setup without the breather or use ONLY the breather but not both combined.

Are you still going the MMP this Friday?

Yeah, I was thinking they might be redundant. I'll think I'll try out the catch can and LS6 PCV first.

I'm definately gonna be at MMP this Friday, gotta see how this new cam will run. Are you gonna make it over there?
