Procharger belt? Was wondering if anyone knew the stock belt size that comes with the procharger kit with the P1. I chucked the belt today and never wrote down the belt size or number. its the 4lb pulley. Any help will be appriciated.

There is no such thing as a 4 psi pulley, or any psi pulley for that matter. There are just too many variables. Take a look at the pulley on the supercharger head unit, there will be a number stamped on it.
How much boost the blower can produce depends on many variables.
* Cubic inch. The larger the engine the less boost it will make with a P-1SC.
* Headers and exhaust. A better flowing system will produce less boost, requires a smaller pulley to regain the loss in boost. Ultimately though, more power will be gained.
* Camshaft and heads. A camshaft with some overlap will leak out some boost through the valves. Better flowing heads react a lot like a better flowing exhaust system.
* Altitude. Elevation plays a big part in how much boost is produced. Those people living in the higher elevations have to spin the blower harder to see boost.
* Condition of engine. An engine with real good sealing rings will ultimately produce more boost than one with worn rings.
* Rpm. An engine that is spun up higher in the rpm range will normally produce more boost.
I am going to assume that you have the standard 6 rib kit. Once you know what pulley you have on the head unit, you can find your belt number of this chart, provided you have an LS1 F Body. Bob
