I've been debating doing a catch can, but without some unbiased proof (not from a catch can MFG), I'm not sure I can pull the trigger.
Give it time. Two reasons why I think we haven’t seen many pictures of build up.
1- the LT4 hasn’t been in the Camaro for very long. I’d be curious to see if on the corvette world There has been more documentation since they have had the LT4 for longer.
2- you have to do some seriious dissasembly to be able to get to the valves and take some pics. That’s not something most people are going to do often. So hard to take pictures.

I’ve never heard of this. Which catch can company was it?
