    What is the psi rating on the Raptor BOV supplied by GSM?

    What manufacturer actually makes it?

    Thanks.

    Thanks Adam. I looked earlier today on Vortechs site, but did not see the BOV listings.

    As I figured, the BOV is rated at 8psi. F@CK!... I need to upgrade to a bigger spring, or BOV all together.

    Thanks guys.

    Do you get any compressor Surge Ron? The way you can tell is if the Belt squeals really bad on a quick closed throttle or if the car jerks on the dyno after a pull.
