Who knows.

I also run an L99 but with a CC and my intake was soaked inside.

The smell of hot oil was crazy at red lights and stop signs before my CC, and no I do not leak a drop. Never have.

But I do use TapShift nearly 100% and engine brake quite a bit.

I’m constantly on the taps. With my foot in it. The Z/28 CAI has what appears to be a short ‘trap’ that extends down from the PCV inlet. Never have seen anything in there either. I’m pretty versed on why a CC exists. But I considered cow magnets on the fuel line to a carburetor once too. Just sayin...

genIII and genIV motors are notorious for passing oil through the PCV system into the intake manifold at high rpms.

oil in the intake manifold will cause pinging, which will cause the ECM to pull timing, which = loss of horsepower

Honestly, most days I tap it out about 4500 rpm. Some days I let the car do the shifting and it’ll run it out to redline. But that’s a lot less frequently. I tend to get on it when the oil is new and taper off over time has its lifecycle drops.

The last time I took off my LS3 intake manifold I looked inside and I found oil contaminates inside the whole intake manifold because the last owner of our 2010 Camaro SS didn’t run a oil catch can numb skull I have to use octane booster and top tier gasoline regularly. Not all oil catch cans are good quality or created equally some leak oil due to poor quality. I love the dual Elite Engineering catch cans they are top notch quality.
