I also dropped 500 on and lightened flex plate and a G on a Yank preformance converter, they adjusted the price because I didn't use the converter that they use for the tranny build. Yank converters and Gearstar work hand in hand. They both built my order.
Once the converter was built, they drop shipped it to Gearstar where they installed it on my freshly built trans and they tested the 2 components together to ensure proper function. After that they shipped the trans with converter installed and filled with fluid ready to install.

I love boost for the BOV sound. You recirculating? If not can I get a clip of that BOV sound?

There's no bov on a supercharger. Boost is throttle driven. Once you let off the gas it's not boosting anymore as where a turbo it's driven off the exhaust gasses so the pressure still builds when the throttle is closed. Once it gets to a certain pressure the excess pressure gets vented through the bov, other wise if there wasn't a way to vent the excess pressure, something will blow

I had a Vortech Supercharger on a Nissan Maxima and it had a BOV. The BOV is supposed to release excess air that is pushed into the intake. Turbo and Supercharger have different ways of getting air to push in intake but they both produce excess air, right?

You are thinking of a bypass valve.
