<Everybody has an opinion on BPV's, the 710N is a pretty good value for
approx. $30.00.>


Define value.  Personally, I think the valve stinks.  One of the 2 I bought
(one for me and one for a buddy), passes all pressure/vacuum tests.  It
still
falls off dramatically between gears, and seems to be stealing some of my
top
end... compared to the original spec valve...  I'll be moving along to
something that uses a piston.

I won't get into the whatBPVisbetterthanwhatBPV debate, but will add this,
if only to add to the information pool...

I replaced my 710A with a 710N when I got the car, a just in case as I also
did 1+ at same time.  I notice zero difference in feel / / / performance /
sound / etc. with the 'N' BPV.  It's been in now for over a year and 25k+
miles.  Car performs fabulously, no lag, feels identical to many friends
cars with 'other' BPVs.

And, not that it matters but is sorta cool in a side-effect sorta way, I
personally much prefer the sound of these units over any of the others I've
heard.  Don't much care for their sound, dig mine.
