Re: LS6 valley cover + vertical PCV =
(Nick is back is my understanding XcelwhaminSS).
The big issue is the hose that goes into the side of the intake, that's under vacuum at WOT guys.

Re: LS6 valley cover + vertical PCV =
Ok, I can understand that.
I guess since the pcv pulls from the back of the valve covers(right?) that most of the oil gets sucked up during heavy acceleration anyway not decel. when the oil is moving towards the front of the motor.
I think I'm going with the LS6 valley cover to help eliminate oiling down the intake track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Re: LS6 valley cover + vertical PCV =
Sweet, thanks for the pic, I think I got the idea now. I was a little worried about oil injestion when I go to run the turbo. Maybe this will help prevent that from happening. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
