Well, after an unexpected delay, I've finally ordered my catch can from Elite Engineering, just this morning. I decided to go with the "better" level, which includes not just the catch can but their clean air separator as well. I will post some photos once I receive it, and once I install it.

On a side note, a few years ago, a friend gave me his Elite catch can when he sold his C5. I installed it on my '74 Corvette with TPI fuel injection, and have been impressed at how well the catch can removes oil from the intake charge. And I really like the easy way of emptying the can - just unscrew the cup and pour it out. So many use a little petcock valve on the bottom of a fixed can, which in the tight confines of a Corvette engine bay are all but impossible to keep from getting oil everywhere.

Great design, Elite! I look forward to receiving my C7 kit!
