It takes the pvc air from your engine and cleans (rids) it of oil that would have otherwise gone back into the intake manifold and combustion chambers. I have one of the early ones and they are worth every penny.

They did improve the PCV, but some still had oil going in.

IMO a catch can of some type is a must for any LS1. The amount of oil these cars suck through the PCV is rediculous. AMW makes a great piece...well worth the money. I'll be surprised how much oil gets trapped in there. After you see it you'll want to run some top end cleaner and change the plugs.
