Default Which BOV to Run?

Hi all,
Just gearing up to do my Procharger install in a month or so and was thinking about the BOV situation. I have been reading and most people say that the pro flow BOV that comes with the kit is a bit leaky. I would love to go with Procharger's big red race BOV but my wallet is telling me otherwise. Are there any good somewhat cheaper alternatives out there? I would like to stay with the general "whoosh" sound rather than a whinney of a turbo or a fluttering of a ricer. I'm also looking at running 8-10 psi. It really depends on what numbers im making come dyno day. Oh and i will be venting to atmosphere. Thanks.

Next summer looking to go with:
Bilstien shocks + struts, Lowering springs (brand still TBD (any suggestions?)), MM CC plates, front + rear sway bars, subframes, and upper and lower control arms.
Time to make the pony ride some rails

Before spending any extra money on another BOV try the one that comes with the kit and go from there, It's not as bad as you think. A friend of mine has a 99 cobra with a Pro Charger and had no problems with the one that came with it.

well that was my original intention but even with the BOV completely closed i can still see areas around the blade that will let air pass through. i mean it surely isnt going to be hard to replace but i dont want to get to the dyno only to find out that my procharger is only putting out like 7 pounds or something. i would rather just get a relitively reliable one and save myself from the hassle further down the road. and dynos arnt cheap these days so i would like to keep it to one trip for now.
