Default blow through or suck through?

what is the best for a blower car? i was told its more acurate with blow through so i was wondering is this is the route to do. right now ive got the maf before the blower... would i have to retune the car at all to switch it behind the blower? the IAT sensor is already behind the blower so that wouldnt be a worry.... ive been thinking of getting a louder blow off valve just because i love that sound and i think the one i have needs to be just alittle louder. what do you all think about that?

Well if the MAF is before the blower, it would be sucking air through it. If its after the blower obviously it would be Blowing air through it.

Part 1: What difference does it make? You're already pushing 440 to the tires. I say leave well enough alone.

Part 2: You want a louder blow off valve? What on earth for? Sounds like a waste of money, but it's you money, not mine. If you want it...

draw thru = more accurate air count and therefore a more accurate air/fuel ratio and better driveabitlity

blow thru = less restriction in the intake path and therefore a few more hp

im assuming the bov you are refering to is a bypass valve (recirculates the air before the sc) and you want a bov to the atmosphere. well, i would retune the car (i did after i switched from blow thru to draw thru...i'm not worried about the few ponies) so basically how much is venting worth to you? if its a few hundred bucks (tune and new maf) then go for it
