Open ventilation is just vents on the valve covers, so when positive pressure in the crankcase occurs it depressurizes through the vents. Closed PCV uses a valve and a hose that connects to manifold vacuum, so when you're driving normally the vacuum pulls on the crank case and prevents gas from building up pressure. At WOT it just depressurizes through the vents. Running a closed PCV system prevents oil leaks.

Best trap 107.11mph, we'll see what the new intake/carb setup does.
