Default Pcv System for road course use?

Hey all I have a miata with a 383 ls6 for road course and AutoX use. I get oil burning from the pcv system on hard deceleration, I have a catch can and the regular mods. for slowing the issue down. What or how are you guys preventing this...... Any ideas are welcomed.

Thanks

I converted my 98 LS1 F-Car setup to a C5 setup and it helped ... didn't eliminate it, but helped.

Curious ...

What's the weight of that car? What about weight distribution? Brakes?

Wow ... 50/50 with that big motor up front? impressive.

And at 2650 wet, that should be a scootin' rod.

with me in the car.....its around 2830lbs. It made 423/434rwhprwtq. Hp to weight ratio of 6.69 to 1. I am running a catch can setup and have long lines to help keep the oil in the can. The pcv is in between the TB and catch can on the sucking side. I'll take some pics. and post the links. I am trying to this project closer to being completed and right.
