PCV delete

I've read the threads and the sticky but i still have a question

in order to run the PCV delete do i need an LS6 valley cover or can i use my LS1 valley cover (valley cover not intake, i have an LS6 intake but an LS1 valley cover)?

by delete are you referring to a breather setup?

yeah you can run a breather and cap all the PCV lines without swapping valley covers

Don't do breathers and catchcans. Get you an LS6 valley cover for about $70 and its matching hose $5. Cap your rear 2 ports on your valve covers and your done.

This makes sense, easy and clean. Boosted, you still need to utilize the catch can or no?

Deleting the PCV is the only 100% way to ensure that you don't get oil into the intake. It doesn't matter what valley cover you use when you delete it. Yank all the lines out. Run a little breather on rear of the driver side cover. Cap the fittings on the passenger side and run a breather on the oil fill hole. Be sure to cap off the intake and the TB or else you'll have a vacuum leak.

I was/am planning on doing breathers on the oil fill tube and the driver side rear valve cover, i was then going to cap the TB nipple, intake neck nipple, the front passenger valve cover nipple and rear passenger valve cover nipple. Im not going to use a catch can. I dont want any emissions stuff on this car, not to mention my solid air tubes for the air system are broken, EGR Hose and valve have rotted away and i get a 2nd air injector code on my DIC, so,,,,,,,,,, its cheaper to remove it than fix it. plus i got home made high flow cats

and my nice sized cam.

I respect that you are a Moderator but why do you say no on the breathers??? everything i read seems to say its all good and you can tune everything out.
