It has 2 breather fittings for the fresh air on any LS2/LS3/LS6/LS7. For an LS1 without a breather fitting in the valley, you can route one side to the pcv and the other side fresh air.

Are there oil squirter's in the DRY sump valves covers? If Not how do you get oil up there when using it in a dry sump situation also can we have pictures of the inside of the valve covers?

There are no spring oilers in any of our valve covers. Here is a picture of the inside of the cover.

They sure are pretty...... Can they be retro fitted with spring oilers and will you be making any like that soon? Also imma go out on a limb and say these are SOILD CF without an fiberglass core right?

We have no plans to add any spring oilers. I suppose the aluminum gasket rail could be engineered with passages for spring oilers which could be attached to the inside, but the R&D/design cost vs. the available market is to slim.
