Is it of any use on our engines? I know it's more appropriate for a FI car, but I recently helped my friend install one on his 6.0L GTO, he said it kept the oil from getting to the cats when the throttle body gave them air when you let off the throttle, said it improves the longevity of his engine according to his board. I was wondering if the same concept applied to our cars, if this benefits us at all.

non of that made any sense. only catch cans I know of are for over flow on radiators.

Re: Catch-Can?
people do this to replace the PCV system on the intakes. Gets the oily residue and Oil out of the intakes and keeps them clean instead of recirculating it. I have seen it done with like 2 fbody cars total (usd2sing->"Dan") is the main one that comes to mind and he did a write up on it before.
Most FI guys just block the PCV port and then put a valve cover breather on their cars and call it good.

Re: Catch-Can?
LOTS of LS1 guys do it. search over on ls1tech.com for all the info your'll ever need.
97rs4life is right about why they do it though.1998 bright red camaro ,M5 ,Y87 ,stock<br /><br />Originally posted by Rune:<br />If it smells like a turd and looks like a turd, chances are its probably not a candy bar.

Originally posted by TheGr8SchlotzkySorry, I didn't explain that as well as I could have, I figured since supposedly so many LS1 guys do it, you'd already know what I was talking about. I assume if no one does it on our cars, it probably doesn't do any good, so I'll probably just pass this one up.
Thanks.
