Im putting together a Vortech V1 kit and I still need things like pump, injectors, mass gauges stuff like that. It has the stock Vortech bypass but I wanna put a procharger race valve or some other kind of bypass valve. Can you put a blow off valve on a supercharger? I didnt think you could but i was on youtube and saw people with superchargers with what they called blow off valves. are they really using bov or are they mis speaking and meaning bypass valve? basically I want a cool sounding bypass valve (dont know if there is such a thing but if there is I would like to look into it).

I cannot answer that question in detail but he cool sound you hear is the whine of the supercharger and it gives me a hard on every time I drive a supercharged mustang or lightning KB is what really gives me the hard on but I am pretty sure its a bypass!!! seeing how the bov is used on turbo kits.. but i could be wrong as I am not extremely knowledgable in this catagory good luck on your build!

You need 42lbs injectors, a GT supercar pump with BAP IMO, and PMAS or SCT BA MAF. Yes a BOV is used IF you are running a intercooled setup. A BOV is vented to the atmosphere and a by-pass is re-circ to the intake AFTER the MAF and before the blower if its a draw thru setup. If your running a draw thru(MAF before blower) you need a by-pass valve and re-circ it. If your running a blow thru. MAF after blower then a BOV is fine. Hope this helps

ok thats looks like a standard setup with draw-thru. So going to blow thru(intercooler) you need the piping and intercooler of course. You can use a by-pass valve on a blow thru yes. It will re-circ to the inlet tube.(tube with air filter) A BOV can then be used if you like and vent to the atmosphere. I think a by-pass valve can be vented to the atmosphere too if your running a blow thru.

haha i do have another question, if i stumble across a set of 60# injectors can i use them with 9# of boost or will that be to much fuel? I would like to run 12#'s with a intercooler and conservative tune. for now i may just run the stock pulley and upgrade later but i would like to just put the 60's in now so i dont have to buy injectors twice.
