Modding the Z!

Hey all, I did another mod to the 'vette. I got an oil catch can/breather. It does away with the pcv hose that goes to the throttlebody/intake manifold. They say that high rpm/hp applications can cause the engine to injest oil vapor coating the intake/throttle body and when it does this it will reduce your octane rating of the fuel. (from the oil contamination) My intake and TB looked clean. Here's the install:

I had a choice of colors: red, blue, satin silver, polished, or black. Thought the black would look good under there. It is billet aluminum, has baffles inside, and you unscrew the bottom (o-ringed) to drain it. It is from billetprototypes.com

Let me know what you think!
