Default Racing Vacuum

I have recently installed a new 415 Stroker, big blower Cam, and a Procharger D1SC. My problem is my vacuum is extremely low do to the big cam and this is causing my blow off valve to not work well. I had originally installed a new Greedy type FV 40mm, but even with just the lightest springs I still couldn't get it to work. I finally found a BOV that is working, but I really need to use a larger one. I've read that by installing a racing vacuum that there are some good benefits and that they can actually give some additional HP. I'm wanting to install an electric Air pump. Have any you done this & fix it help. Thanks

Tial makes bov's that will open for you. Tial is considered to be the best bov for any application by most forced induction gurus.
