might be stupid question...but
 
hey how come all the road racer cars have those dual breathers above the front center of the intake manifold with the cross pipe that comes out of each valve cover , why don't the just run regular breathers and how/where do i get some like that, i really like the way it looks.

Just a wild guess, but I'd assume it has something to do with oil not draining back in a sustained corner, which would leak out if they had a regular breather on the valve cover.

Yup. It's about breather height more than anything. Gets the breather up away from the valve cover. Canton Racing Products makes a nice kit.
