Oil Catch Can Poll

I know there are a few thread about the oil catch cans. This is simply a poll to find how how many C7 owners installed a catch can or do NOT plan to install one. Simple.

Just curious.

Yes = Installed it!
No = I do NOT plan to install it.
Not Yet = I have not installed one but I plan to Install it.

Catch cans are for people that do not know how keep the go peddle pinned to the floor. Keep it over 5000 rpm and you will have no carbon buildup

You will not need a catch can if you drive the car like G/MOTHER in the car.. You have to get blow by & that takes high RPM unless you have one of these motors that has a really bad bore job down the 8 little holes...Then you going to get it worse dont care how you drive the car. Also can get it in the z51 package if the oil is overfilled are to it limit & with high RPM for a good time frame...

Well, with the cost of all the mods, I'm spreading them out. Just got the headers and filter and tune, next is LMR catch can, then ECS for some force feeding.

Yes installed it. Non Z51. Will it help? Can't hurt. About an ounce of oil in the catch can after first 900 miles with it on.
