It's not really a catch can, but a seperator that
drains back to the sump.  I still have it breathing
through the intake since it still makes a mess under
the hood.  On a stock motor you'd be fine venting to
amosphere with a seperator, but on my motor that I
like to beat the hell out of, I get some good stuff
coming out of there especially since I have to run the
oil between full and 1/4 quart over to avoid
starvation.
