Question about Superchargers...

[TomCat]

This is kind of a wierd question to ask, but on all these SCed 5.0s do they run blow off valves??? I used to run a modded Turbo probe, so I'm not stupid around turbos, but I just don't see anything of the sort on any pics. I also don't see how you could run without it though. Any input?

you run a bypass valve with a supercharger. INstead of venting the air into the atmosphere like u do with turbos, you vent the air back in front of the supercharger so you dont create a rich condition. If u vented it to the atmosphere, the air would have already been metered by the MAF sensor but not go into the engine. So the ecu would be adding fuel for air thats not coming in. So rather its "recirculated" and thats how the boost is regulated.

DUDE! You can put a greddy type s on that ****nit!! Don't listen to them, recircs aren't for the true racer, you have to have that sound. j/k!
