That sounds like a good plan to get more boost or at least make 9 lbs very safe on pump gas.
How much boost you gonna run?

Re: Blower pistons 12 or 13 psi
We are going to try to get a Vortech T trim in there. He thinks he can do it. The powers steering pump pulley may have to be modified. Just make a smaller one.

Re: Blower pistons BTW- I am from NC. A place called Washington. It is about 20 miles east of Greenville. My parents still live there. I will be visiting there again this summer. We'll have to meet up at a drag strip there this summer,
