Performance ModificationsWant to talk about performance modifications for your Dodge Challenger? This is the forum for that. Anything from exhaust systems to power adders and everything in between. (Dodge Challenger Performance Modifications)
There was a cam swap "party" recently and we had the opportunity to pull the intake off of a 2007 6.1L with 36000 miles. The engine has never had a catch can installed and as you can see there is a substantial oil build up. More compelling evidence, I just wish there had been similar opportunity with an engine that has had the catch can for comparison.
I realize that most of the Challengers out there have not yet reached this much mileage, but it seems that installing a catch can from the get go makes more sense now.
I am no engine expert by any means, Since I had the camera I was asked to post these. So don't ask me any technical questions.

Mine was the other cam swap that Spin2win is posting about. I wouldn't have minded tearing into mine for a comparison but the guy with the 300 went and got the only head gaskets within an hour drive of where we were...lol. That and we were having a heck of a time with the front fascia making my cam swap take two hours longer than the 300s, I just couldn't ask the guys helping out to take apart more stuff on my car.
I have around 9200 miles on mine. I have had a catch can since around 500 miles. There is a little oil that gets around the throttle body gasket but nothing near what would build up to what's in these pictures. Just looking in the manifold with a flashlight, mine is still clean.

I have a Stack performance with a z bracket from some other company that I can't recall? There are a few companies who make em. Just depends on what you want it to look like. I have about 700 miles on her now and when I did my 500 mile oil change I found about a quarter of an inch of oil in it. That's after 200 miles without going over 3000 rpm.
Hi, Im a noob here, not to hijack, but where can I get a catch can for mine? Thanks!
Just poke around the vendor areas on this forum, there's a number of them offering catch cans. Mines a Billet Tech.
I had about 1/4" of oil in mine after about a month of daily driving. My last 5000 mile oil change (I'm using 0W-40 full synthetic), the catch can was just over half full.
