So what do you think, need a catch can??? 
/> I will have to seriously look into a setup whether it be a catch can or just pinching or capping/plugging off the PCV line. I was blowing oil in probably 1-2 turns most of the day, but predominantly the last session of the day when I picked up the most speed around the track. I actual had my fiance capture 4-5 pictures in series that shows the car enter the corner, start smoking and then smoking all the way through and out of. This picture was the biggest puff...

How is that canister separating the air
il (what canister is that)? It can be done, but most cans out there do not do a particulalry good job at it when trying to pull vacuum off it as well.

he's probably got one of these moroso air oil separator jobbers http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...=1010445&Nty=0
They're not going to get all the mist. just no way if you have a sealed setup and don't have a real filter inline with pulling massive vacuum through the intake manifold.
for Naturally aspirated motors, what's the downside of not pulling enough vac / vac through the intake manifold?
Possibly not enough pressure release in crank case causing the dipstick to jump out every once in a while?
Maybe a little more leaking through valve cover gaskets?
gunking up the head/valve cover area more easily?
A setup where you'd have just one line exiting the valve cover to sealed catch can to intake tube would likely just not put any fresh air into the valve cover. The OEM setup does this. It would only place vacuum on the valve cover unless when the throttle body slaps shut, there is somehow enough pressure created to send some fresh air through the line and into the valve cover.
Does the engine, at any time, create it's own vacuum in the crank case?
I know we are kinda killing this horse but it's nice to learn
