[Urgent] Need oil-catch can
Yes, I posted this before, however I got a response for ONE vendor, and I thought that was it.
Seems like "that" vendor isnt really interested in the business, its funny when you send a vendor a PM and you can actually see him online on the forums, but dont hear from him even WEEKS later.
As simple as this gets, I need a vendor that has PCV catch can's for a C6 Z06, any suggestions where to look given I need those on an urgent basis.
Your help is appreciated

I went with the red anodized catch can from Elite Engineering. Great quality. Seems to work great - I get about two tablespoons of oil during a 100 miles of HPDE. Fits with no mod to the bracket or FRC. The instructions do not show the LS7 (at least not when I got mine a year ago).
I actually originally purchased and used on my 05 C6. Called Elite when I got the Z06 and they said it would work, so I pulled it off of the 05 before I sold it.
Really a top-notch item in my opinion.
Cheers - Jim
(ps - Elite Engineering is great to work with).

I <3 Elite Engineering.
I bought 2 cans for both my GTO's, when I traded in my black LS2, I kept the can. Easiest can to work with, simple install and works on any LS series engine.
Mine are both Raw Silver finish.

A Catch Can interrupts the PCV hose between the valley cover and the intake, and catches any oil that may have bubbled up through the system or "Vacuumed in" and keeps it out of the intake.
It helps keep the engine cleaner for longer. I put one on my LS2 GTO when it was brand new, went on a 400 mile road trip, when I came home, I checked it, it was a 1/3 full.

How about something like this. that actually fits on the Z06 with out any funky washers or what ever other companies use to make their universal catch cans fit other applications? Nice fit and not obtrusive. No need to take it off just to empty it, and no need for a site glass either.

It's my brand actually
I have them only for the Z06 right now until I get some other models to come by and let me play around in their engine bay. I have them on sale right now, but haven't announced it yet. Here you go. http://shop.billetprototypes.com/pro...0&productId=82
I am machining another batch so the black ones are on back order for the moment, but I'm rushing to make them.
