Danspeed1 Catch Can for 90 Vette

Simple question; hopefully

I am working on a 90 Vette. Engine is fresh and I am thinking of running an oil catch can instead of a typical PCV system. On my C6 I have a Mike Norris non-vented catch can. On the 90 we are going to be running a TPIS miniram. Not sure if I should run a vented one or a non-vented. Can't really remember the differences to be honestly. Also looking for a recommendation on which one to run. Not looking for one thats going to break the bank... something cheap is fine so long as its easy to hookup and works. Any recommendations?

I run non vented ones in both my zr1s. you still want the pvc valve in the system just put the catch can between it and where the pvc line goes back into the intake the burn the vapors . here is a very cheap catch can you can do . do you have a air compressor ??? what I use is a air compressor air/ water separator . you can get them for about 25 bucks at the throw away tool store (harbor freight ) I ck mine every 1000 mile . you just unscrew the plastic bowl drain the oil in it and clean the little brass filter with gas put it back together and you are ready to go . in the summit cat . steeda sells the same thing for 60 bucks.

you might have to by a couple of brass elbowsand a couple of feet of pvc rubber hose . you don't have to mount it on the motor . I mount mine on the drivers side inner fender well . but that is for a zr1 I don't know how the l98 pvc routing goes

Non vented, otherwise you are allowing non-metered air into the system.

I have planned on installing one on mine, just never got around to it.

This is the company I think I will use. USA made, custom order, and really good reviews with the tuner crowd:

Anyone have any pictures of their setup?
