Default Vortech boost question

Just wondering if I'm crusing at say 60mph should I be getting boost if I'm not giving the gas? Basically I'm asking should or shouldn't the BOV be blowing off at this speed? I just want to make sure that it is set right. Other then that I think it is working fine. Getting 8 psi max, and the BOV closes as soon as I punch it.

Yes..just cruising you will not see boost . As soon as the vacuum drops [punching it ] the BOV closes . How many threads do you have showing on the adjustment bolt on the BOV ? Most of us have been adjusting it down to about 6 or 7 threds showing above the nut

mine is around 10. What does it do when you put it to 6? does it close faster?
