Default Dry sump venting open or closed.

Running a 3 stage Peterson dry sump pump, I am seeking information to see if its worth running a closed vacuum system with no engine venting or some valve cover venting, due to the pump only having 2 scavenge sections. I have valve covers that have a pop off pressure valve in one cover, the only venting is from the scavenge line through the oil tank which has two fittings for breathers to a puke can.

I was considering removing the pop off valve and fitting a vent so air can flow through engine for more road use than race, as one issue with a closed system is condensation build up causing rust?
