tuners/pcv valve

I am wondering if any of you guys would run a oil catch can for the pcv valve to eliminate the oil going into the intake manifold or just cap off the intake nipple and vent the pcv to the ground. also is this going to mess anything up by doing eather mod. thanks guys.

I bought a little plastic in line oil catch for a few bucks at checkers a while back. It will catch all the oil going through that line and let you see how much is in there with out gunking up your intake. Works like a champ.

All race evos are set up that way. I guess it is fine but your engine bay will have the muscle car smell. I am about to do the same if I can get the piping right and vent to side of my car instead of dumping hot gas in to the engine bay.

Edit: yes, you will need the catch can. oil does come out from the PCV.

I plan on hollowing out the hole where my pcv is and placing an oil catch can there. My car as is builds up too much crank case pressure which sends my dipstick flying upwards. Oil does come out of the pcv so an oil catch can there would be a good idea.
