just my 2 cents.
This is true, but at the track people are also shifting much quicker, or if using dsmlink there is nlts and then the throttle will not be closed at all. I have haerd of removing the bov for the track also though on high boost applications, since it does keep the pressure in the pipes and makes cars a little more responsive when shifting quickly. I would reccomend feathering off the throttle after crossing the mark for whatever distance your running so you dont cause huge compressor surge
