Yup.  I am an ass.
Also... can you chirp 3rd on Z-rated tire with an AUTOMATIC?
Anyway... it's retarded to say you want something that you don't know what it does.  It's almost like saying that you want an RB26DETT, but you don't know if it gives more power than a stock engine.
And yes!  The main thing that catch cans are used for are tracks.  Just as beef said, people put air filters on the end of their PCV valve, and oil pressure builds under the crankcase, and forces oil through the element.  This only happens under high load conditions, such as drag racing, and staying in high revs for a long time.  
Don't tell me that you leak oil driving around town, or I will tell you that your engine has a problem.  I don't see anyone staying in the upper rev range for 16 seconds on the street, or you would be doing 90.  And you don't autocross on the street, either!
And the term "blowby" is usually used pertaining to oil passing between piston rings.  A catchcan will not change the fact that a car is running on shitty rings.
Any other flames?
