always faster

Ok if everything goes ok i should start the car tomorrow.Everything seems find and all i will need is adjust my turbosmart BOV that came with my A&A kit.

My car has a perfect tune for my 383 ci and of course is not tuned for the new blower yet.Can i still adjsut my bov without my blower tune ???

I am talking about the free rev part.Can i free rev my engine to adjust my BOV or should i wait after the tune ???

Thanks
Eric

From the A&A instruction:

Adjusting your Turbosmart BOV
-Adjustment to the BOV is made by rotating the cap, to increase spring tension rotate in the direction of hard, marked on the top of the cap
-Rotate the cap in the direction of soft to decrease the spring tension – CAUTION Do not rotate the cap beyond the red indicator groove
-Start with the BOV cap at the maximum soft position (The red indicator should be slightly covered by the edge of the cap)
-Free rev the engine and back off quickly, the engine should return to normal idle speed – if the engine drops below idle or stalls increase the spring tension by half a turn
-Repeat this process until the engine free revs and returns to normal idle speed
-Test drive the car and ensure that when decelerating or changing gears that the engine does not backfire or stall. If backfiring is excessive or stalling is noticed then check all connections made during the installation, otherwise increase the spring tension

If you put in 60 lb injectors then you shouldn't run your engine with the old tune.
Tuning the BOV is not that critical.
You could just set it half way and it would be fine.

My 383 already got some 60lbs since day one so i can run the car like that but without creating any boost.

Right now the Bov is set to a minimum ,just after the o-ring and i can still feel the groove with my nail.There is no red indicator on it...

So do i left the BOV like that or i can free rev it ???
Should i still be able to feel the groove or my bov cap is not far ennough ???
I cant have the car tune yet because i gotta do a good 700-800 miles of easy breaking miles for my new trans and diff.

I can't answer your question directly.
I had mine professionally installed and dynotuned and run my BOV about half tight.
You can mark it and count how many rotations the valve will go from loose to tight, then experiment with your throttle.

I set my BOV, as per the A&A instructions, to the lightest setting and I never adjusted it after that. 7psi no problems.

Wrote a messag to Josh since i dont have any red indicator on my bov.
I would like to know if im at the minimum right now.I can feel the groove of the second o-ring(small one) and if i had 1/4 of turn i cannot feel it.

I did start the car tonight and everything seems fine but didnt try to free rev it.

Just leave the supercharger spring in. Too much spring can take the impeller out. Ask me how I know.
