Default Considering Alky Injection, Tuning?

When I go down to the next pulley I am thinking about doing alky injection at the same time. While I'm at it, would it be worthwhile to install a blow-off valve? Is it neccessary to get a dyno tune after alky injection (before I change the pulley)? Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't run a blower without a BOV. You don't *have* to dyno tune after alky install, but you will be adding more fuel creating a rich condition and you'll be able to bump your timing up under boost. That's the main power gain to alky. Talk to Greg at Blowerworks. He has a white paper on alky injection that will probably answer all of your questions.
