PCV systen setup for Ls2 does anyone know how the Pcv system for the LS2 engine is set up ? what is run to what ? is it ran from the rear pcv fitting on the rear driver side valve cover to the intake manifold , then run the throttle body to the front passenger side fitting in the front ? ANy help is appriciated !!

Here is the description from the GM service manual (2005):
Crankcase Ventilation System Description
A closed crankcase ventilation system is used in order to provide a more complete scavenging of crankcase vapors. Filtered air from the air induction system duct is supplied to the crankcase, mixed with blow-by vapors, and passes through a crankcase ventilation metering device before entering the intake manifold. The primary component in the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is the PCV flow metering device (or orifice) . Vacuum changes within the intake manifold result in flow variations of the blow-by vapors. If abnormal operating conditions occur, the design of the PCV system permits excessive amounts of blow-by vapors to back flow through the crankcase vent tube and into the engine induction system to be consumed during normal combustion. This engine ventilation system design minimizes oil consumption and significantly reduces the potential for oil ingestion during vehicle limit handling maneuvers.
LS2 Engine
The LS2 engine utilizes an integral positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system which is located in the engines valley cover beneath the intake manifold. The engine valley cover contains composite oil separating baffles and PCV plumbing. Filtered fresh air is routed from up stream of the throttle plate to the front of the right valve rocker arm cover through a formed nylon tube. The design of the rocker cover shields rocker arm oil spray thereby reducing the potential for oil being drawn into the throttle bore area during back flow of the ventilation system. Blow-by vapors are routed from the valley cover through a fixed orifice (2.5 mm) within a steel PCV tube, then through a formed rubber hose before entering the intake manifold behind the throttle body.
