The function of the valves is fundimentally different..
so there's no big noise with our valve. It's used to connect the post and pre SC intake paths when there is little load on the engine to reduce the parasitic drag of the SC for improved gas milage.
There are ways to modify it, and different ways to hook it up, and a couple of companies that will sell you modified valves... Look around...

I saw 2 SRT-4s at the drags a few months ago, and they were running over 1 sec faster than me, so my guess the driver you "smoked" missed the shift.
Go to RennTV ( a German who makes race videos) and get the one of the twin turbo Porsche driving around Nurburgring--now that's some turbo blow-off valve music there!

Our cars have blow-off valves, however, they vent the manifold pressure back into the intake stream, just before the SC.
FYI guys, the DTBV is a BPV with a stiffer spring, and it also closes properly, unlike most stock BPVs. GTTuning doesn't make a new BPV, they just modify the old one to shut properly.
And on the subject of racing. Yes the driver matters, but let's try to remember that a lot of cars come out of the factory faster/slower than others. Maybe El_Griton has a faster than usual MCS, and the other guy either can't drive, or has an unusually slow srt-4.
I've beaten a lot of cars that i shouldn't have had. 350Z, Boosted Skylines, JCWs (back in the day when all i had was an Alta CAI and MTH)

OF course, in un-controlled environments, one car and driver could "beat" another combination with similar, or uneven power and performance characteristics. The closest we can get to a controlled environment is the drag strip. Yes, there are driver differences, but their impacts are drastically reduced after the light beam has been tripped. The SRT-4s at the drags were putting out around 300HP, compared to my 200HP. It's a no-brainer that if I would ever get to the end of the 1/4 before them, something went wrong in the other lane.
And of course, we're not talking about street racing at all, full stop, period...never.
btw, I'm not selling my MINI for a steenkin Dodge!

There are a couple of tender points that require a gentle touch not to break some somewhat breakable parts, but follow the directions cause this bull in a china shop did it successfully.
I believe you'll like whart you have afterward.
