Hey, if you wanna take my experience and go with a different BAP, cool. If you wanna tell me I don't know jack because they're all the same, cool. Just trying to put my experience/recommendation by not recommending a product that could've caused catastrophic failure. Just putting the Info is out...
Bottom line up front: upgrade fuel pump voltage booster from the start if ordering a Vortech or Paxton kit.
Mine stopped working randomly and had I not been data logging about 2 weeks ago , I probably wouldn't have noticed for a while. It was making the engine very lean in upper RPM range at...
Because I could hear it and feel the air blowing back out of the air filter if I had someone rev the engine. I can only give my experiences with the BOV. I'm at 12psi and it didn't work for me. The race does work for me. I'm sure like most cases, experiences vary.

the amount of necks broken since putting the race BOV on is immeasurable lol. With the radio on, I can only hear it faintly so I'll be keeping it for sure
