All the people who are recommending manual controllers obviously aren't making a ton of power. Anything over 350-400whp is a waste...unless you have a gear based boost controller...

300 is quite a bit for the street, i think its respectable power I have no issues with my Hallman MBC, its ball and spring, and i see good spoolup.

Manual BLEEDER style open slowly / kill spool. Ball + spring hold gate shut until desired boost is reached.

AVCR is $400 better spent elsewhere... unless you already have everything else important.</TD></TR></TABLE>

are you saying that a bleeder style boost controller will kill spool time as in fast spool? or slow spool?

Electronic We use the Innovative MSBC (gear dependant with ramp control) for our higher boost cars, but the Blitz SBC works fine on lower horsepower setups where traction isn't as big of an issue. Just my $0.02

im stuck on these three:

Innovative MSBC, AVCR, or World Boost Controller.

If anyone can hold a group buy on the World controller, I'll be all over it. otherwise im picking up the AVCR.

I have the AVCR I really didn't find it user freindly. Its a great piece though. Its got more functions than I can shake a stick at. Its pretty good for bigger boost I think.
