Kyle I know you said your not ready to go into more detail yet, but I want to hear your explanation on the BOV's. I love the sound of them but have heard a lot of comments about running rich. I am sure someone else can answer this too, but is it really a big concern? Rich is better than lean as far as engine life is concerned correct? Is it merely a problem with running rich and stalling out or can the problem go further than that?

Anyone?

You will like our optional dual stage blow off valves. At low speed, cruising through a parking lot or something, they act as a re-circulating system. But, at high speed like when you're actually driving, they will vent to atmosphere. There is no concern about stalling or anything when driving at high speed because it happens so quickly it's only when you're going slow that the loss of air and excessive fuel can cause the car to stumble and potentially stall.

It would basically be like if you took a breath of air and there was a valve opening up in your throat before it got to your lungs...It would cause you to stumble and fall...

That is a pretty good analogy.
