OEM catch can + Elite?
Is anyone running the OEM catch can PLUS an aftermarket one? I've seen a few posts up here suggesting that but I didn't know if anyone had a definitive answer. I was hoping to just use the OEM one, but if it's not getting the job done I'd like to know.

The lower side catch can help with WOT (wide-open-throttle). If you're not doing that for extending periods of time I wouldn't bother. I have one but I'm tracking (or plan to do more) my car. |

Sorry to chime in a good friend of mine his dad works for GM and we asked him to look into this RE: with NA motors you get some oil blow-by in the pvc system ,but not as near the amount as the DI engines as again as the v6 side and with the new 8 there is no fuel vapor flowing over valves which does not remove the oil residue from stems and build up occurs,so make a long story short yes on DI not indicated on NA but user pref...

All of the Camaro engines (Except for the supercharged ZL1) are Naturally Aspirated (NA) from the factory. I think he means whether the engine is DI (Direct injection) VS non DI (or SFI). http://www.carsdirect.com/used-car-b...-pros-and-cons
The LS3 and L99 (V8s) are SFI to my knowledge. I too wonder if the price justifies the benefit. Since most racing applications use them I assume the theory is correct and more benefit can be seen if the engine is consistently run hard. It would be interesting to see a study done for daily driven engines, etc.
