bottom line is, some can get away w/ it, some cant (the borderline being the check engine light)

running rich for lengthy periods of time isnt a wonderful idea, david is willing to take that chance for the sound, some arent.

comes down to the question of whether or not your willing to take that bet. run a performance dv, and be set, or get the cool blowoff sound of a blowoff valve, and possibly dump excess fuel into your catalytic converter, rendering it useless.

to get a blowoff valve to run smoothly youd need a way to regulate the fuel, since there is slightly less air. i think david has taken care of that, so he should be good to go. am i right?

"Audiboy1618, yeah i get what your saying, but look at his question, it says nothing about a DV. He asked if it could be done, I answered him, i also informed him that he might be running rich. I DID NOT tell him to use a BOV, and i certainly didnt tell YOU to use one. So take it up with me on the 1/4 mile if you have a problem with me answering a NewB's question. Understand???"




David_k,take it easy there pal, no disrespect. I just found it a little werid that you didn't know the reason why we dont think BOV are a great idea. I never said that you told him to use a BOV, and i certainly didn't say you told me to use one(sound familiar).BTW thats a sick time you have, is that out of the ko3?


no hard feelings here
