Changed blower pulley...now running lean. Sounds dumb I know
I went from a 3.7 pulley on my procharger to a 3.4 with a FMIC. I have only been cruising around with it, no WOT blasts, and I pulled my plugs today and they were white as the day I put them in. I always understood that you want your plugs tan in color and maybe a little darker considering FI engines are usually run rich. I was curious if it was normal to have this much of a change in A/F from the mods I did. I had the car dyno tuned with the 3.7 pulley and the twins so Im sure the a/f was okay before hand. Am I increasing the incoming air that much? My fuel pressure is 50 psi at static. Should I bump it up to 55 or 60 until I can get it retuned?? Thanks

That's not a huge change - I suspect only 1-2# of boost more. Are you running a boost referenced regulator? Figure it's about a 8% change, so if you are not boost referenced, I'd start by jacking up the FP from 50 to 55 (a 10% change) just to be safe. Check the plugs again. I can't believe it would need a complete new dyno tune, if it was tuned correctly before the pulley change.
