Why do you think it is in the Warrtalon/Buschur package? Think Warr just likes wasting money on pointless mods? Because if you think so, you're sadly mistaken. He has always tried to go fast as possible, for as cheap as possible.
It's there because Warr found the importance of keeping taper to a minimum, and he did this by addressing ALL 4 of the problems by getting a flash, a MBC, a TBE, and A BOV.

No Im telling you are wrong one why we have stock taper. Im sure some of the DVs leaked, heck mine crapped out on me too. But thats still not why we have taper. JDM MR, and new IXs valves will hold 25 psi no prb.
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ight=stock+bov - UH OH, 10 psi on this test.
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ight=stock+bov - 13 psi here
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ight=stock+bov -
5 psi
need i go on?
I understand it's not the primary reason for taper, the ECU is. It leaks though, and is a recommended initial mod on 2003-2005 Evos.
It is laughable to mention on his quest to beat a F430, you're right.

He has no idea what the Evo is capable of... 
So here is the challenge; he want's to run at the strip for $1000, and he wants to do it this weekend. Now, $1000 to him is probably nothing, but to me it's a lot of money... I think I have a legitamate chance of beating him though, we are straight up drag racing, times are not being taken into consideration, whoever gets to the trap first, wins. 
Now I think that if I can get a sweet launch, I'll be able to rip on him out of the hole, due to his crappy RWD traction. What do you guys think? Any advice on launching, or should I do anything to prep for the race?
Also, a co-worker of mine drives a sweet, yellow C6, with headers, exhaust, intake and a cam. He wants to also run from a roll on the street for $500. I said I didn't want to run except for on a track, because street racing is ghey. He said that if I didn't want to run on the highway, then he want's to take it to a road course, like Limerock. Any suggestions for this one...?

I am laughing at the BOV listed as a mod because considering this post in itself, it is probably a VTA...even if it weren't, it is humorous that he thinks <300whp and most likely subpar driving skills will out edge an F430.

HAHA, whatever dude - so that 13.3x makes you really cool. And that you think you know everything. Well pat yourself on the back.
Ya, like Warr, Im going for broke on the bare min. mods as I can. And I dont think of a DV/BOV as a major mod.
Glad to see you got the ECU part right.

Ok, it seems the odds are against me... isn't the stock turbo good for 400 AWHP? Maybe I could delay this by a week or so and make some more power... what additional mods would I need to make 400 whp???

you won't go anywhere near 400WHP with stock turbo.

And my 13.3 doesn't make me cool, it makes me average. 12.9 would have made me cool.

But for more power -- Hows your clutch? Do you have a 2 step?
20g (or 10.5 16g), cams, meth, 255 walbro, injectors will get you between 11.9-11.3 - but for a $1000 run thats what 1000ish+600ish+80+400ish = 2000 grand range (feel free to corect my prices - but either way thats a lot of mod money - and more than the race is worth) to get more whp than that F430.
As far as 400 whp on stocker - ya its doable. I should redyno my car, I wonder how much I am making these days...
