Default Catch cans. Sealed or vented?

Wanted to ask what people's experiences have been in respect to catch cans and wether you used sealed or vented cans.

This is my first LS/Vette, I come from the import world and have been messing with high power high boost 4 bangers for years. In most of those builds I used vented cans with great success and after all there aren't many PCV valves that completely seal at 40+psi of boost.
The part that sucks about the vented cans is the fumes and smells, specially while running e85/98.

The ZR1 is stock for now but the plan is to eventually max out the stock blower and maybe throw a shot on top if I get bored.
So I would like to run a sealed can to avoid the fumes/smells but I don't want it to become a problem or restriction once I'm making some good power.
Anyone run sealed cans successfully at 1000+hp?

Any boosted car probably should have a vented can.

I had looked at that on your website but the ZR1 doesn't have a oil fill fitting on the valve cover, so how do you install the oil fill adapter?

I don't have much experience with the ls9 stuff yet, but on my LSA combos, minimal oil is ever pulled via the intake tube fittings and a lot of oil is pulled in via the valley to snout line. A single closed can between the snout and valley has worked very well for me.

I have the MMS can. I ran a 3ft hose behind the blower and used a 150 degree AN fitting to the drivers valve cover.

I haven't had any problems with it,
no fumes in the cabin.
