It was my understanding that the catch can is to go on the drivers side attached to the pcv valve. ????? Hose from pcv goes to catch can which collects the oil then the hose contines to the intake where the gases are sent to be recycled/burnt.... unless you have a vented catch can and most of the gases go into the atmosphere. Am I wrong? How does the catch can do the job on the front passenger side?

look closely the user uses a LS6 valley pan, this conversion eliminates the PCV in the valve cover and moves it between the intake and valley pan

Attached is a pic of my CatchCan install, and it works great.

I'll take some pics of the inside of my J-tube when I do the 90mm TB mod,
but from what OI can see with a Borescope there is no oil in my Intake track
or the blower.
I drain my CatchCan every time I wash my truck, 2 to 3 times a month.

Here are some pictures of mine.
I do have it mounted on the passenger side but the hose runs from drivers side valve cover to catch can and than to the rear of the Radix.




I don't know why the last picture turned out so big?

Good Grief Yet another new item in my vocabulary. Now I'm even more confused. But I do thank you for the update. Jim

The AMW is a hell of a piece. Althought the price tag had to shoot up. I got my can used of this board.

Here's a few pics of my AMW...I was lucky enough to get it before the price shot up (it was about $90 at the time). It works great...I open the drain about every 1k and get at least a tablespoon of oil out of it every time, sometimes more. I made a bracket for it and mounted it on the cowl as you can see...it's real easy to get to for opening the petcock and using a dixie cup, or brakleen cap, or snapple bottle, etc...
