Ford Performance offers a passenger side and a driver side catch can for the 350. Which by the way, after installing, wont affect your warranty. It baffles my mind that GM and Dodge don't have similar offerings for their performance cars.
I have and Elite Catch can on my ZLE. I emptied it this fall after about 1000 miles of hard driving and the catch can was 1/4 full, if not more. The one on my Hellcat was also 1/4 full after about 1,000 miles. I bought both sides for my 350R to install in the spring. It's worth the peace of mind.
Why would you want that circulated back into your engine??? It's a fact that it will affect your valves once enough deposit is caked on there.
I don't know how long I am going to keep my ZLE but just in case I end up keeping it till my old age, the $400 for the catch can is worth the piece of mind.

Exactly my thoughts, the effects wont really show through the warranty period. Also keep in mind that oil added to the air/fuel mix reduces the effective octane of the fuel you use, and the rotor surfaces of the SC dont need and lubrication, matter of fact having a good coating of oil on the rotors and internal surfaces only attracts dust and particles that got past the air filter to stick to them and build up. Just my thought on it and my 2cents.
