Just an idea i have. Could you take a vortech and pully it for say 15psi, and then run a bypass setup so that it will dump at around 10 psi? If im thinking correct, wont you hit more boost sooner? just an idea, will this work?
 
as far as i know that would work, but most blow-off valves only go as low as 12#s i think. the idea is sound but that would be the max you could possibly hit then. you would be wasting the potential of the centrifugal supercharger in making power.
 
lol you guys are funny! i guess 12 psi would work as a limit, And i could pully it much higher. See, isnt say a vortech rated up to like 20 psi of somethin? i dont know...i guess the only downside of the idea would be possibly excess heat created by the blower pumping so much air
