Sold my C7 and have the following for sale (located in Calgary):
- Atomic Air intake manifold, ported by Tony Mamo and smoothed (by smoothed, I mean the manifold is plain black with an OEM type coating - this was something Tony Mamo did as well), with Tony Mamo ported throttle body. These parts...
This doesn't have anything to do with a catch can between valley and intake manifold that is trying to prevent dirty side oil from entering the intake.
Also I may be wrong but I'm pretty certain oil volume was reduced by half a liter to 9.3. Did GM change this yet again?
The LT1 emissions/DI system is unproven from a valve deposit perspective. Who knows what will happen in 5 years plus one day.
And there are other reasons to run a catch can other than the dreaded/alleged DI intake valve deposits issue.
Catch can helps keep oil out of your intake charge, which...
It seemed low to me as well, but they told me it seemed about average. Of course, the car did have a cold air intake on it, so it was either below average or the CAI wasn't doing much. In any event it rips now.
Why procharger instead of A&A or ECS? I think all of them would be good though...
Here's a couple of pix from the build of my 2014 Stingray. It's a M7 Z51 3LT with NPP, and already had a cold air intake before it went to Davenport for heads/cam and headers.
Am super happy with the car - went up 85 rwhp and 40 ft lbs torque over what it was with just a cold air intake, and...
Here's a short idle clip for my 2014 C7 Stingray with stock NPP performance exhaust, ARH headers and catted x-pipe, VR Stage 1 (non-DOD) cam, Lingenfelter heads. It's got a bit of a lope esp. half way to through to end once it settles down.

If you're looking to make your own hoses and use OEM style quick disconnects, another way is to extract the connectors from the u-hose you take off your car (or buy a spare for 20 bucks). May also be possible to use a 3/8" S.U.R.&R. quick connect (like a KP020) which would cost a couple of...
My 2014 owners manual says 9.3 liter / 9.8 quarts for Z51.
That was a reduction from earlier cars when they said 10.3 quarts in the owners manual.
If they are now saying more oil than 9.3 liter, I haven't heard that. First it was rumored that they reduced oil capacity because Z51s were...
