Didn't really care for any of the locations using the supplied bracket, so I made my own! I had to drill and tap a few holes in the top, but I think it came out pretty decent. I'll pull it off after the first event this weekend and polish it up a little.

A catch can allows for collection of some of the oil vapor that gets past the PCV valves. The LT5 is known for sending a lot of oil that way, which then is drawn into the plenum via vacuum and burned. The catch can allows recovery of some of that vapor, into liquid oil, which can either be disposed of or poured back into the engine.

Ok, I can't believe I'm saying this but 'don't polish it" I would PC it black (matte or gloss) then I would use red paint on the outline of the Chevy flag as well as the ZR-1 logo. I would do some different mock ups then decide from there. as always JMHO Great Job! very creative :handshak:
