Catch can

I have about 1500 miles on my Camaro. Is it too late to get a catch can so my engine doesn't get all gunked up and where should I get it, how much will it cost, and is it hard to install?

No, it's not too late. The RX catch can seems to be the one to get. Check out this thread.

I am interested in this as well. I have heard of them, but never really looked into them.

I highly recommend looking into and/or purchasing one.

I just put one on about a month ago and I had 7000 miles. I got the Elite Carch Can.
Easy to install and easy to empty. Although, technically I haven't emptied it yet, I did open it to check out what it had caught.

I have 22000 on my car and added the Mike Norris. Here is a picture of catching after 750 miles of driving:

Doesn't matter what engine you have - all engines will benefit from a catch can.

I have one on my 6. I'm impressed. I don't drive my car often but with the mileage I put in my car I did see the can caught things that shouldn't be going through the line. Worth the $

I understand that, I'm just saying a v8 would produce more, or am I wrong?

IIRC, the V6 produces more than the V8. Check out the threads posted and pm member SC2510, he'll set you straight!
