ALL GM dry sump engines have issues with oil ingestion "burping" out of the cleanside line. As you can see, the main intake air bridge on the later ones has a cleanside separator from the factory where the cleanside line attaches to the inner radius of the intake tube. These fill quickly as they are small and no baffles or media inside to effectively trap the oil. Remove the intake tube from the throttle body and see all the oil inside the IM floor as well as the TB coated.
The SS owner is the first documented case in all the years and hundreds of thousands of users of proper systems EVER denied warranty, and the failure is a failed oil pump, not uncommon with an LS based engines as there are thousands of examples on the internet, yet not a single case before this one of a proper system like an Elite ever causing any issues.
Now, the drysump in 2015 GM added a "cyclonic separator" to help reduce the oil ingestion, but it does not stop any on the dirty side.
If you want the longest life and reduce oil caused detonation, then yes, the Elite E2 or E2-X system (the cleanside will not clear the hood due to the location of the oil sump tank) will improve the PCV system to not only evacuate during idle, cruise, and deceleration, but also adds a secondary evacuation suction source so under acceleration and at WOT it continues to evacuate where the stock system relies only on IM vacuum. The dual checkvalves open and close as needed so the strongest suction source is always defaulted to.
So, if you intend to keep the car for any length of time, definitely get an Elite E2-X or E2 systems installed.
Ask any questions you may have as so many do not understand proper crankcase evacuation and the PCV system.
