I would say no blow off valves or bypass valve in the supercharger world runs off of pressure. They need some type of pressure to make the sound you desire these motors are source of vaccum not pressure. Buy a cam you will like that better or just buy you a supercharger setup and run with the BIG BOYS

You do realize that you would be one of the few Corvette RICERS around?

You might even get your own video on YOUTUBE!

Just get a air horn compressor tank so it builds pressure while your driving and any time you want to vent it off to the BOV just hit a button or wire it to your clutch pedal with a micro switch so each time you shift it will blow of the pressure. Just se the compressor so it only builds 10-15 psi or so. It will give you the sound you want...

Because I could care less what people do to their cars (even Vettes). Cracks me up what some people do to cars though.
Putting a fake BOV valve on is better than putting half the bling crap I see people putting on their Vettes thinking it looks good.

belive it or not i have seen a silly kit you can buy to make a blow off type sound, a speaker mounts in the grille wire it to positive and ground it and it has a vacuum line source so when the little gizmo senses the vacuum change between shifts it makes the blow-off sound... was the dumbest thing i ever saw but then again thought it was kinda cool for someone to design such a thing too. do a search and i bet you may find what you are looking for

Dude, head over to the ricer forums. Neon that bad boy up, hit your fake blow off valve while cruising past the local jr. high school...you will be a big hit! And we wonder why we get a bad rap from other "sports car" owners.

I couldn't find the link I used to have to a fake blowoff valve, but I found you a FAKE TURBO WHISTLER to stick up your exhaust pipe.
