Default Which BOV for my application???

I finally had the opportunity to get my fuel system done so I am currently upgrading my stroked 402 with a Dsc1 to a smaller pulley (3.7). When I get to around 15 lbs of boost it is throwing the belt. I am hoping that a Blow off valve will help alleviate some of this problem since it seems to get thrown when we back off the boost. So which bov would you guys recommend for this set up and is there anything else that I need to look out for to alleviate this problem?


Thanks

from what i've heard, BOV's are very annoying on S/C applications and a bypass valve in the best choice and for you.... ATI Race Bypass....

I really dont know how a blow off valve would help throwing belts and such?? But yeah i would do the Race bypass like superman said or the Mondo valve, but still i think its something else thats causing your problem but i could be wrong which is sometimes the case

The bigger BOV will help tossing belts for sure! The bigger the better! The Procharger Race Bov is pretty loud and sounds like a giant street sweeper when cruising though-but it works! I've been using the Vortech Mondo and it seems to work well but it doesn't flow as well as the Procharger!

The above are correct.... You do NOT want to run a Blow off valve with a SC setup. Anoying as hell..... i made the mistake years ago when i had a ATI setup.

I have the Red ATI Bypass on the right in that pic and love it.

It can be used on a SC setup and a Turbo setup.

Not venting enough air might be part of why your throwing belts..... what tensioner setup are you using???
