Hi Folks
I just received my AMW catch can - looks very well made and should do a good job. The did all the engineering/Fab for you, so why not use something that will work. I am going to install this weekend - should be a piece of cake.

I purchased one from azone and I'm glad I didn't spend a lot of money because not much oil is passing through that line. If you want more info, pm me and I'll put up a new post with pics.

Of course, if you're LS1 does indeed have the oil consumption issue, this is not a permanent fix since there is not very much capacity in this design.

Yes, my website sucks! It's a work in progress and this went from concept to final in 1 hour.

Oh man! I put the filter in line with the vent tube that goes to the top of the valve cover! LMAO I feel like a retard! I thought that was the PCV. Maybe that's why I hardly getting any oil in that line!
