Wondering if a Oil Catch Can is worth it?

How does it effect the cooling properties? Good possibility I will track the car in the future.

Here is mine. Mounts to the cross bar on engine side. Feeds from a fitting where the distributor used to be and fittings machined into the heads. Goes to the little catch box that has a piece of screen and a block of coarse foam (sort of like fuel cell foam), and then exits out the back and dumps unceremoniously on the ground. I suppose some marshall will tell me the can doesn't have enough capacity and make me route it into another can of some sort. I'll fall off that bridge when I get to it.

Judging by the receipts from when the car was built the catch box probably came from Summit or similar.

Here is mine.


Looks like an electric fan setup. Does it cool the engine adequately?
