probably the only way to keep oil from going back in is to vent it to atmosphere via a breather can

For blown applications with headers, where/how would your kit mount?
I have my can mounted on the driver side frame forward of the radiator and fits under the cover with the A&A kit.

That sounds like a great spot for drain access, too.

The only problem I'll have is having to get another passenger FRC and sanding the HELL out of it to paint it nicely again because I cut the current one to fit a different style can.

You’re right, I don’t know why I wasn’t looking at it that way.

Tusc, where did you get that oil fill cap? I've been looking for something like that.

Thanks!

here are a few c5 installs
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...0JTLTJVVHZrY2c

i have two bracket options on the site for c5 'wild'. battery mount and universal mount
https://www.mightymousesolutions.com...page/c5-6-wild
for c5 usually the univesal mount goes to the battery box or the fuse box, and the battery bracket would be for anyone that does not or cannot do the universal mount

also see that the kit includes an oil fill adapter which is my standard 'no mess' way to do away with the now undersized stock ventilation line.

This is a kit from CoSpeed, which is based on someone else's prior design. I bought it a while back when they first began making them. The prices look a bit higher now. They do sell that cap separately for $90 now.

Edit: for those who are more knowledgeable, an suggestions on my setup? I see where others discuss a steady downhill feed to the can. Due to SC and headers, my can raises up slightly from the feed line. Would that impede function?
