Default combo LS6 PCV and Catch Can comments/ideas

Anybody got any input on doing both a LS6 pcv conversion and a oil canth can? b/c iv heard that the ls6 doesnt help completely and in some cases not at all. so theoretically w/ both it should probably completely get rid of the oil probs. pics?

If you are considering doing either, I'd say to try the catch can first. It's easier to do, and usually helps the condition far more than the LS6 conversion.

I just did a catch can install this winter. Car is in storage right now so I don't have results yet, but most seem to see a big improvement from it.

Sorry no cam. I know I need to get one.

I have a Greddy can, and I mounted it horizontal on the driver's side strut tower where the LT1 guys usually put their ignition boxes. I had to make a custom bracket to make it mount there, and I needed 90* elbows for the inlets/outlets on the can to clear the hood. Fits perfect there now....
