I don't have room to place a catch can & breather higher than the dry sump tank (DST) - it would have to be some distance from the DST and would have to be lower than the DST.
I'm thinking of just venting the DST to the valve covers and not having any other venting on the DST.
Any thoughts & comments would be appreciated.

My DST is in the boot (trunk) and vents to a catch tank mounted on the back-stay for the cage which I can easily drain. There is a -10 hard-line from the DST to the inlet side of the pressure stage with a short length of flexible hose to account for any engine movement on the engine mounts.
The catch tank has a small filter to stop dust and cr4p being drawn in as the scavenge system has been set up to keep negative pressure (over atmospheric) inside the engine and I don't want ambient dust and stuff in the catch tank
It is a dedicated race car so I don;t have to worry about any pollution related issues
