In a performance or race application, it's basically useless. If you need to pull a slight vacuum in the crankcase to help with ring seal, make sure you have backfire valves on the headers and run the tubes from the valve covers to the collectors. If there is an exhaust system after the headers however, don't even bother as the backpressure will defeat the purpose of the vent system.

Is this a race only or street/strip deal?
its drag only..... straight headers!
