We have a 2010 SS in here for a cam swap with NO catchcan and 30k miles....this is the first one I have seen with almost NO oil in the intake!! The owner says it does not use any oil between changes and he drove it as hard as he could from day-one w/out dropping out the syn. When changing the valve springs we pressurize the cylinder and this car has the least amount of leak-down I have seen in ages on a LS3......so you can seat the rings properly w/the factory syn oil!! Just very few end up like this. The car is tracked at Sebring on a regular basis and no catchcan and almost no oil in the intake.
