Procharger BOV... Standard or Race?
So After a long long time of dealing with crappy BOV on my procharged 5.7l Ive decided to give the procharger one a go. The kit was assembled from pieces, due to the custom nature of my setup. The question is should i just use the Std surge valve, or should i spend the money and go full race version. Im currently running at a gauge reading of 13psi at the intake plenum. The boost runs through a series of 3" pipe and a large front mount intercooler. What is everyones take on this?

If you're making anything over 550-600 RWHP, go with the Race Bypass Valve. Otherwise, the ProFlo valve would work just fine.

Thats good to know. It was last Dyno at 460rwhp with the bad BOV. The race one is not cheep, and if i dont need it, id rather spend the money on other things i need.
