Positive Crankcase Ventilation removes blow-by gases, water vapor (byproduct of combustion and condensation), and fuel vapors (from cold starts). This helps reduce sludge formation. It also helps people feel good about their modification.

One thing often overlooked is that the air entering the crankcase should be filtered. Otherwise you are drawing dust into your crankcase. The original vent cap is not a very good filter.
