Catch can empty?

I've always emptied my catch can during every oil change.
But i've noticed, since my cam swap, i dont get a drop of oil out of the catch can.

Is this because of low vacuum because of the cam?
Is it all staying in the crankcase?

Any worries here?

Thanks

If it has a drain valve, is it closed? Others with a similar issue had forgotten to close the valve. Just a thought.

I had the same issue. When you cam the ls3 you have to move it to the same location that the mighty mouse cans use. Go on their website and look at the diagrams, thats how I have mine ran
