      If you have the N version, you have the right one. I had problems, but
then again, I'm running MRC stage 1 with 22 lbs of boost.

      There was a fairly detailed article (I forgot the source, maybe
Audiworld) on BPVs, and the 710N tested well (in reality, as well as the
maintainable valves such as my Stratmosphere) but it doesn't necessarily
have the life of the maintainable valves. I figured, for the cost of (2)
710N's, I could have one Strat and be done with it.

        I'd have to check but I could swear I have the "N" version.

        Thanks
