Being there cheap I think I'll get one, maybe there will be some advantage, like will said, maybe it may help with temps. That would be my guess being the extra little bit of air that going to be moving through those valve cover. Jeffrey, you have one, are you using it for dress up or for another purpose?? I've been seeing alot of cars, GP'*, Bonnevilles, ect, on cardomain with these. Are your sure there only for dress up?

It does help a lil bit to relieve the gases & heat that are built up in the valve covers. But if your motors stock it really wouldnt have that much to do with performance wise than it would decoration wise.
