Has anyone on this forum ever installed an oil catch can?

LS430inDE.

On the LS, no, totally uneccessary, but YES, on my 2012 on my 2012 F150 Ecoboost (twin turbocharged) engine. The Ecoboost has a naturally aspirated PCV system, while it's a twin turbo engine. The PCV system, (as designed from factory) doesn't work properly unless you're at idle, lol.

Here's a link to probably THE SMARTEST Ford mechanic on Youtube installing, in my opinion, THE BEST catchcan that's available. I have it on my F150, purchased for $250.
Here's the owner/designer of that same & best catchcan (my opinion) doing an install of his catchcan....
I wish I had half the mechanical knowledge of what these guys have in their pinky.

All motors have blow by though and i am also more aggressive with my driving than most ls owners i am going to take my ls up to lime rock when the porche club is up there i allready talked to a member and they are cool with letting me run with them its $250 to run your car the entire day with an instructor so i am doing it, my ls with the sway bars chassis braces figs products headers and exhaust should be a fun car to run around the track. I also plan on running ebc yellow pads as well have not decided about tires i have to do more research into that.

Bridgestone RE-71R's are apparently a decent track/street tire. Unless you buy a dedicated set of track tires/wheels and change them at the track..

I am thinking about getting some lightweight 18" enkei or motegi wheels to use on the track with some tires, i was speaking with the gentleman who has a 2005 porche gt3 about tires, suspension, and that stuff he is the one who actually invited me out there to run with them, all i know is i cant wait for the salt to be off the roads so i can bring out sterling, install all the ultra racing stuff, get my parts from figs and get an exhaust made.
