I still think a bone stock LS engine even could benefit from a catch can ... When my LS3 was bone stock, I removed the throttle body just to find that there was lots of oil laying in the bottom of the intake manifold (I wish I had taken a photo of it).
If a good / well designed catch can can keep even 50% of all this oil out of the intake, it would be worth it to me to install one.

LS3 catch can
I have been looking into this a lot for an 800hp blown ls3. Assuming your LS2 is stock there is absolutely no need for one. Money best spent else where. Add a supercharger...then yes get one. A stock LS2 or 3 C6 really dosen't "need" anything. In stock form these cars are set up well.
It was only about $120 and it works great... I drive my car fairly aggressively with regular runs to 120+ mph.... and I empty the catch can about every 1500 miles. I get about 3 ounces of oil out of it each time. I like keeping this oil out of my intake... for the money a great mod !!!
I maintain my Vette meticulously, oil changes every 4K miles with Pennzoil Ultimate Platinum synthetic....
Id recommend a good quality oil catch can (like mine)to anyone who drives a high performance vehicle.
My brother has a 12 C6M and I installed one in his Vette too... he’s also happy with it and gets about the same amount as I do...
Just my humble opinion.

Pennzoil
I respectfully disagree... I have an 08 C6M and I installed a Mike Norris Motorsports catch can right after I bought the car with 14k miles.
