Make sure you let us know about this. Doing an LS specific kit with suitable mounting bracket would certainly bump the sales
I'm not sure the typical mounting point, left head, that most use for the LS1 wouldn't work with this.
With the standard intake still installed real estate is fairly tight for a larger AOS, plus being able to install a drain with a remote valve is also a packaging concern, the SAAS drain line only just fits.
For stripping oil and contaminants I have had excellent success with the SAAS unit, and it is a simple install, and relatively cheap.
My main concern for any AOS is the ease of servicing the unit.
The only issue I see with the Ryco unit is placement, and, I assume, is needing to replace the filter, I have had excellent success with using fuel foam as a medium before, and that can be cleaned easily and is cheap if you were ever required to replace it.
In saying this, the only real issue with the SAAS is its limited volume, I'm guessing it might hold 250ml before being "full", whilst it works great as an AOS, if the engine is pushing alot of oil further investigationwould need to be done.
Maybe a remote can connected to the drain line to achieve more volume, or
A return to the sump with some oneway valve (I had something similar to this, -10 return with a oneway valve from can to bung of the sump, on my old racecar, RB25/30 that had a tendency to push large volumes of oil)
Oneway valve was required to allow oil to return to the sump, but not allow blowby to percolate or push the oil back up the line
Meh, food for thought
