[Shotimes] PCV extractor and vacuum in crankcase

[Ian Fisher]

It promotes better ring sealing and re-routes oily
blowby out through the exhaust instead of into the
intake manifold. Theoretically this should yield a HP
gain and keep the intake manifold nice and clean and
dry. I have a Mr. Gasket kit that I'm probably going
to install when the new 3.2 goes in.

Technically this will have a negative effect on those
with emissions testing. You may want to disconnect it
for the sniffers.
