Default new c7 owner question

I m a long time C2 and C3 owner and at my age in the 70s jumped off and bought a 2015 C7 Z51 7 manual conv. I keep my stuff mostly stock except for certain improvements and upgrades know nothing about this new stuff so im wondering about this catch can thing for the dry sump . which one to get and also the best air intake system. Corosa etc. sure would like some input and thanks.
