400 Miles and nothing in Catch Can
I installed my RX Catch can about 400 miles ago but nothing has come out. Ive blown in the top to try and pressurize it but nothing. Is this normal?

400 miles is nothing. I have maybe 4 ounces of oil after 12,000 miles. I do run the 1LE return can as well as the RX catch can.

if its hooked up correctly the less you get the better. 400miles is nothing. I only put 5000 miles a year and i get less than 2oz.

I have about 500 miles on my CC and drained about a table spoon full only. On those 500 miles are included 2 runs at a test and tune night.

You have it connected correctly. Some engines get a lot of oil others not so much. I wouldn't worry too much, it's actually good that you don't have a lot.

The thread in this link has an excellent description of the enhanced oil control of the LS3 over early LS engines (bottom of page 1) as well as how the PVC system can be overwhelmed at WOT. It will probably explain why you are not seeing much oil in the catch can.
