The ls6 pcv system is a waste to because it will only reduce the oil consumption a little bit better than the ls1
Both LS1's and LS6's have the same oil consumption issue's that is why the revised the service bulletin's later on to include the LS6's also
That is also why owners of either or are having to resort to catch cans or deleting the pcv.

The revised pcv valve gm part# 12572717 which is a None check ball type pcv valve it just has a hole drilled in to it should be used along with the Gm vented oil cap for it work effeciently but I forget the part number for the cap
I ran that set-up it only improvd the oil consumption a little bit which from what I read is a hit or miss with most people trying it
