You wont gain anything from removing the PCV, just leave it alone

you wont gain $hit from taking the PCV off, leave it alone you need it for the most part, delete the smog and put on an electric fan to free up some power, also bump timing and put in a k&n filter

+1 on leaving it in, it'll hurt you if anything, the pcv valve serves a good purpose.

I have some info on the pcv on my site. Hopefully it will provide some insight as to why Ford designed it in.
