hi, they don't do much for windage. they are to help keep hot oil off bottom of manifold and to keep lifters in bores in case of a valve train problem. that is their main function. any time you can insulate heat from intake, there is a power gain. I use them, has saved my motor one time. just food forthought.
a cam will splash oil this will help it to fall back down on the lobes and lifters.
