Zero. That'* why you have a PCV valve.

There might be a SLIGHT benefit to front valvetrain temps, but it'* the rear that runs hotter. For the most part, it'* a purely cosmetic mod.

If you modify the hell out of your engine, then you may need it, as the stock PCV valve won't be setup for your setup, but that'* very extreme case.
