Good comment Dale... I do something similiar to this with the Camaro
already... I use the High Pressure exhaust to scavange the Valve covers...
in other words the breathers are hooked up to the collector on the
header....
My understanding is that it helps create a minor degree of Vacuum in the
engine which aids in sealing the Rings... or so the story goes... Most
likely doesn't do anything but makes me feel good.... Keith
