What kind of head unit do you have? What's the displacement of your engine? What kind of cam and heads? What kind of power are you pushing currently?

What head unit do you have? To increase boost, you have to increase the speed the blower spins by decreasing the size of the blowr pulley. However, if you have a P1SC or even a D1SC most likely, you're not going to get 22psi out of it and will need to buy a new head unit.

The blue metal label on the blower will tell you what model you have.

I don't advise trying to run more than 16 psi of boost with a Procharger with stock heads. You need a thicker head deck so as the ones from AFR. Here is a link to my build, we saw 19 psi from an ProCharger F-1A on my 408. A smaller displacement engine with identical components would see even more boost. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=12

Here is a link to our blower camshaft which we have in my Camaro.
