Avalon Racing has quoted $5100 for the kit. Install is roughly 10 hours so figure anoter $700-$800 for that.

It suposedly puts out 369 RWHP at 7psi boost.

Actually, I heard Saturday that Injen's Procharger test car is now putting down 396 at the rear wheels at 7 pounds boost....

You can use a BOV on an SC in the exact same way as you do a turbo - in fact I would recommend it to be as if not more important than on a turbo, simply because compressor surge on a supercharger which is connected to the crank can have nasty side effects (although in all likelihood the belt would just slip causing no real damage).

Right on demon.

Many people people believe a BOV is just for sound, well what creates the sound is the release of the gases (if I remember correctly), and when you release it, it creates that nice BOV sound.. so infact this isn't just a mod for ***** and giggles, it actually does something.

I know that it releases presure because the turbo doesnt stop spinning as fast as the rpm drops if you get off the trottle so it blows off excess gas i just wanted to know if it would work on a superchaged engine . which the awnser was yes it would but i dont understand the part that demon said about the belt slipping isnt that a bad thing?

That is some bad a$$ $hit. Does anyone know if the installation requires any fuel system parts: secondary fuel pump, Fuel management unit, or extra injectors?
