Thanks... this is the type of input I've been looking for because it reassures me ppl who install BOVs are after some kind of performance benefit and not purely for the sound
I found this thread on a corvette forums:

There's a guy there saying the valve should be open at idle.
However, is the BOV sucking air in at idle? Or pushing air out? If it's pushing air out, why are people still "filtering" their DIY DV to BOV conversions?

Yeah, that sounds about right... I've seen it for 25-30.
