BOVs can definitely cause problems at idle and definitely make the car just stall if there is not enough pressure on the piston.
Paxton install, possible bad tune?

Hmmmmm you might be on to something! Maybe Terry can help you with adjusting the bov from Paxton or call Paxton and ask them. I know its adjustable and they may not have dialed it in.
Deffinetly something to look into. Thanks guys.
Im at Dasilva Racing now, they removed the BAP and it wasn't the issue. Right now they are trying a set of Shelby 47 lb injectors

I'd seriously check the spring force on your BOV and contact vortech or Paxton about how many turns you should have on the set screw for spring preload. Shit or no idle and bogging are pretty common indicators of such a situation. At least that's the case on every force fed car I've had with an adjustable bov.
Ya I'm really wondering if they don't set it with the tuner kits. Why that would be I don't know but could be the issue
Lund and Dasilva Racing found the problem! The injectors were installed wrong!
Big time props for Ken for sticking it out with me. We've both been trough hell buy all is good. I'm data logging the car with him now and I'll update with more details later.

That's awesome great work to all!
^ I would like to know the answer to this as well? Isn't crazy how you can make the smallest mistakes when your tired!
It was a dumb mistake on that the shop installing the blower did. First off I wanted to say I know the owner of the shop for years and his son is a very good friend of mine. They are at the track for the weekend but I will find out Monday why the injector mistake was made. What they did was install the purple cap on the wrong side of te injector. There was not any instructions with the injectors from Injecot Dynamics. Still no excuse for what happened.
I do want to make very clear that Ken from Lund racing literaly spend the whole day with me yesterday sending me tunes and I was sending him data logs. Ken was beyond patient with the whole situation and never pointed fingers at the shop for doing something wrong and treated me more than fairly and I am very happy with his service. He will also be remote tunning my car on the dyno tomorrow.
I'd also like to thank Terry (Beefcake) for helping me throughout the whole ordeal, Theres nothing but great service and prices from Beef.
Lastly Joe Dasilva and Matt (MattD) from Dasilva Racing for finding the injector issue and fixing it.
If anyone on here wants updates on what's going on including dyno numbers I can update this thread

Dude I'm really glad everything worked out for you.
Glad to see everything worked out for you and once again i will say KenB FTW!
Glad to hear it worked out. Gotta be tough remote tuning not being able to see the setup to help troubleshoot what physically is wrong. Ken/Lund offer great service, for the price paid the hours of service they are willing to give make it a bargain for sure.
Good luck on the dyno tomorrow, should be fun when it is done.
