Oil catch can... which one to get?
I've been reading more and seems like RX has been tested to remove more oil than any others. About half way down on this page is a very lengthy test done by a guy with 2 cans, in a thorough scientific manner. http://www.silveradosierra.com/vorte...n-t447361.html
it is fine to have confidence in your product but it is not 'independent third party results' in any stretch of the imagination (as it is made to appear)... so at a minimum take it with a grain of salt.
i am too busy filling orders to pull tricks like that, but I am designing a test rig that will be able to test anyones can in several key areas of performance, and do it all on video. open to suggestions!

Elite has a "clean-air oil separator".. does that mean that the catch can won't separate oil from air?

I have the Mike Norris one as well. It's a solid piece. I'm stock and don't plan on anything more than heads, cam, and possibly a 383 stroker. If you are planning on FI, the MM or RX is probably a better alternative.

How hard is it to see what will thread into a threaded hole on the head?? This is a THREE YEAR old thread, like the other one you posted in. MIGHT get a reply, but don't hold your breath.

This has probably been covered before but if i have an ls6 valley on my fbody, would i need the f-body can from MM or the c5 corvette can? I'm guessing I would just need to change the routing on the fbody can?
Yes you can if it's for a race car only, but it won't have a built in PCV valve which is what I wanted for my street car. I scrapped the Home Depot idea and went with Mighty Mouse.
Mighty Mouse setup:
-Won't have increased crank case pressure and blow off my rear main seal
-Doesn't smell horrible once I pull it into my garage causing me to have to leave my garage door open for hours
-Proper PCV functionality
-Doesn't look like home made **** under the engine bay
-You can keep ls1 valley cover rather than having to swap it for an ls6
Mighty Mouse was the way to go on my street car setup. I scrapped the whole DIY idea.

the long winded guy posting all of that is the manufacturer of RX, and he posts that same 'test' over and over across the internet.
