Yes it does have a blow off valve now installed....we built the flange out of some 1/2 inch steel plate i have an i cut it out with the torch an we then drilled the holes for the studs an then Jeff tig welded it to his upper charge pipe an installed it at like 11pm at night here at the turbo Garage.....i would like to see some numbers from the dyno.Think the *** dyno is a lil out of calibration....The turbo truck sbc engine is a lil noisey now since last nights street racing....got beat by a supposedly mild sbc in a nova who was out of the juice but i think he had a lil squeeze left cuz 1st an 2nd gear was pretty much even then third gear he started to pull on me.He got me by about 3 car lengths i guess its time to get the other fuel pump finnaly installed so i can crank up the boost to 10 psi.... 
errr slacking off. :P
