they arent worth a **** on our hotrod cars. the engine makes so much crankcase pressure it pops the relief valve in the vacum system, and then shoots oil all over the place(firewall/engine/pops the dipstick out) the car has come back from a run with the oil dripping off the wheelie bar. (this was back in 05/06)

we have switched to venting the engine on the front side of the valvecover with large diameter vent tubes and havent had the same problem since.

we are talking about 2 differant things. and honestly, adding or subtracting numbers on a chart would be much easier than setting up whatever it is you are thinking of.
