In the Conquest/Starion world, it was decided by both butt dyno and ¼ mile drag results that a 'recirculated' system actually provided quicker spool times between shifts than a 'blow off' system.

I think the argument of running rich between shifts is pretty moot, as it's barely enough to even cause a puff of smoke during shifts. I never saw any adverse side effects from running a BOV on my MAS equipped Conquest, and as with the Porsche that was the biggest argument against using a BOV, "You'll go rich. Use a BPV instead...".

I think I'll stick with a BPV on the 951, as that Blow off sound just doesn't go with the car, IMO. Although I'll likely upgrade to a higher quality unit.
