Either way...
And the LS6 valley cover won't cure it either...I still pull oil through.

However, you are not spraying oil directly at the baffles in the ls6 valley cover as you are in the ls1 valve covers. This is a particulary noteworthy detail as the valve cover baffels are often times removed for rocker clearance.
LS6 valley cover in conjuntion with a catch can should eliminate most all oil consumption thru the PCV.
As long as there is a vent to relieve crankcase pressure, some oil will find it's way through. Just the nature of the beast.
