Absolutely no performance gain or loss. This is better for the air, it will
reduce HC's by 25% or more!  It also helps to reduce sludge and varnish from
forming in the engine which is nothing more than a mild acid formed by blow
by gases mixing in the oil. It will help keep the engine internally cleaner
and improve the idle, as well.
