Screw in valve cover Breather for LT4 valve covers?

Hey guys, i was wondering who sells a screw in valve cover breather for LT4 valve covers. I saw it on someones website, cant remember where though. If someone can tells me who makes it or where they bought it, that would be super.

I wouldn't use a breather, because then you're messing with your PCV system that uses MAF metered air. With a breather you are introducing un-metered air. Just my .02

True, but injuneer pointed out that this can be corrected by the long term fuel trims with no problem.

But "Injuneer" still has a closed PCV system, and no breather. Think about it

Blowers are a different story. You have to do exactly what you did to prevent overpressuring the crankcase with the blower.

I ordered the breather yesterday from LS1 Speed. I spoke to someone there with a 9 sec LT1 car, and they said to give it a try, thats what they use on cars there. I think after the cam and head swap, the car is sucking some oil through the PCV tube connnected to the throttle body. When I pull the throttle body off, you can see a light coat of oil in the intake. I should have them Tuesday of this week, and I will post results.
