Vortech supercharger question
Is there anyone out there that has disconnected the blow off valve on there stock 6 lb set up. The driver of this car doesn't speed shift the car and loses boost every time he shifts because he lifts off the throttle during shifting. Will this hurt anything to disconnect this at the track only?
Thanks

Unless I'm misunderstanding something fundamental about the way centrifugal superchargers work, lifting off the gas during a shift shouldn't be an issue because unlike turbos, they are not driven by the exhaust, they are tied to engine speed.
So he may lose some boost because he went to a higher gear, causing the RPM's to drop, but that has nothing to do with getting off the gas during a shift.

You are correct is stating that boost will drop when your engine drops in rpm.
