After roughly 75 minutes on track at VIR Saturday, there was approx one Tbsp of oil in the can.

Very cool, custom and unique bracket you have there. Thanks for sharing. I know I have way less now with my fresh rebuild that I used to.

The major contributor to the oil in the pcv system in a healthy lt5 is high rpm runs, it pressurizes the cranckcase, the catchcan seperates the oil being blown into the pcv system.

You think high rpms does the job you should see what a little boost does. I've blown out the dip-stick several times before adding the catch cans. Yes, two of them... ;)

What's the filter membrane in this can Jeff???

No cut-away of the can, I don't suppose?

THat's good info there Jeffipedia! http://www.zr1.net/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

Looks like a serviceable unit too!

Now, how to route the pipe that Dom has sent (thanks to Dom there - sent the pipe before gettin' my $$ ), such that the oil can drain in front of my K&N............................
