There is only one PCV valve and one intake for it into the throttle body/MAFS...

Is that the case for both base and Z51 models?

"Is that the case for both base and Z51 models?"

Good question as I do not have a Z51 - maybe someone can confirm if it makes a difference

Hey Ken

What is the option for "add a clean side oil separator" about? It's $99, not sure what the point it? Going to order mine tonight. Thanks

I just ordered mine this afternoon and I'm pretty sure I did not see that option, but it's there now.

I'm not sure what it is but based on its name, maybe it's something that allows you to recover (and presumably) reuse clean oil from the crankcase?

Just an educated guess on my part.....

Here's the info from Elite Engineering:

Clean Side Oil Separator
Elite Engineering, the leader in catch-can solutions announces the latest addition to their proven line of oil separating catch-cans with the "Elite Clean Side solution". The Clean-side solution addresses that small amount of oil vapor that enters the intake air charge up-stream of the throttle body during WOT operation when the intake manifold vacuum is not present. The Cleanside solution allows 100% MAF metered air entry while trapping the oil during wide open throttle operation and allowing it to return back into the valve cover as soon as the throttle is lifted. Available in Chrome, or any other popular color to match your exterior and 1/2 the price of the plastic GM unit. This is a direct replacement for your stock Oil Fill Cap.
Models for both the V8 AND V6 Camaro engines.

Added to the Elite original, or New E2 catch can, this is your COMPLETE PCV oil ingestion solution.

Retail $99.00 plus our typical $5.00 shipping

Will check out the C7 today, but am not going to skimp on quality just because it costs less this time.
hey, you....its a good car for the money!

as someone who knows nothing, am i to infer from the above that all C7s should have this installed, and none of them come with this?
