I just put in a LS6 conversion and ran it through an AMW catch can. It actually works very well. Not burning oil, or at least there is no visible effect afterwards. 
how to stop the oil burning when backing off???

how to stop the oil burning when backing off??? when my friend dynoed his camaro, it smoked like crazy when it idled down from 5k rpm. i went around the race track today and when i backed off from like 5000 or so it smoked real bad too, mom saw it from the stands. what can be done to stop this and why is there that much blow by at those rpms?

i dont suck much of any oil through there, i think its all blow by on the rings. my friends SS did the same thing and eveyrone else i know it happens to them. but i was runnin the **** out of the car so my mom could actually see it this time. but it wasnt low on oil and as soon as i got back into it the smoke cleared up and i ran right up to 6000 rpm again

i used to have a catch can but got nothing but condensation in there when the can was cold suckin up the hot air. didnt wanna suck in the condensation. like i said, i ran the car hard today and tehre was nothing in the line from the ls6 conversion, so it worked very well im impressed.

It could be bad valve seals or rings. My car does the same thing. It always burned oil but it got much worse after the cam and headers. I think its the pcv because it gets a lot of oil in the intake behind the throttle body.

compression test would tell if its rings right? and if it was rings it would smoke after long idle or just high rpm runs, and it only does it backing off no other itme
