Thoughts/Opinions/Experience with LS6 PCV

Please share, preferably hoping to hear good results with it from someone with an aggressive setup, thanks!

I did it when I swapped out my stock heads. It was very easy with the LS6 block, no grinding like the LS1 block. My LS1 has never consumed any oil from day one and has not started since the LS6 PCV conversion. It's worthwhile moving the ventilation point from inside the valvecover to the valley cover. It's one of those might as well do while the heads are off mods.

be sure to use the updated fixed orifice PCV valve the sock one will allow too much vacuum to be appiled to the system

I did the PVC mod and it hasn't helped in terms of oil consumption. I also have an AMW catch can. I'm planning on buying the truck PVC.

not sure what the "updated" oriface is, but does the 03+ LS6 PCV valve cut it?
