I would like to answer this question however, due to the obviously competitive nature of this subject I am going to have to respectfully acknowledge your question but answer it indirectly.

Blow off valves will be an option for the supercharger system however, as 1slow370 pointed out it can cause the afr's to jump crazy rich because you are releasing metered air that you are taking away from the engine. Therefore the engine will supply the appropriate amount of fuel for that amount of air but since you've released it you will be extremely rich. This can actually cause the car to stall at low speed. Which is why we will be offering a dual stage re-circ/blow-off valve. It will be an option.

There is more to this explanation as well but again...We aren't ready to release more info. yet.
