Cheapest place I've seen it is the Exotic Performance Plus, they are a sponsor on here ------------>>>>>>>>>

Anyway, it screams loud at part throttle, nice loud opening event after a boosted pull as well. Some people don't like it, love it.

As far as power... I've seen the same valve on 2000+ hp drag cars. The most recent being an F3R procharged 632c.i. big block running alcohol.

Open is what just about everyone buys, it vents it to the atmosphere. Bob

Generally blow off valves don’t bleed off boost there just not big enough to let out the pressure when u let out of it causing the charger to surge against its self witch really hurts them, but i have the race one on 20psi on a 490 hoping to put down 1000 at tires it sounds like a jet at a high engine rpm under no boost sounds awsome

The stocker leaks from the get-go and does not flow enough air for those who have raised the boost level.
