didnt look at the link, but usually oil breathers just help the engine by allowing it to breathe easier reducing the potential build up of pooey oil.

oil coolers used to be all the rage and claimed to give a couple of bhp, because the engine ran a bit better.

i dont think u will be looking at any power gain with a breather, but it cant hurt having ur engine breathing a bit better.

i bet it looks pretty too :D

A catch tank will trap any oil mist or blow by from the breather instead of sending it back in the engine to be burnt off.

You don't want any oil present in the intake because it lowers the effective octane rating of the fuel and that leads to piston destroying detonation!
