The BSI kit includes a two way ram and the cycle rate exceeds 30 bps. What will the QEV add? I am not being critical, I need an education in this mod!

     You are totally right dude. The QEV stands for Quick Exhaust Valve. A ram without a QEV has to vent exhaust gas all the way back down the hose feeding it and then back out through the valve. With a QEV the air escapes as close to the ram as possible making the ram react faster to the solenoid. We use them at my work (much bigger ones) all the time on conveyer systems because we need to stop things on the conveyers as soon as we can sometimes.

I know what the QEV does, but the BSI is set up to handle 30+ bps and the stock board will run it that fast. To clarify, the BSI ram that I have had my hands on was factory set up for two way operation...no mods necessary for it to run at 30 bps.
