You could run the 3.55, but your RPM limit would be 6350 based on a max impellar speed of 74000. Or you could run a 3.65 pulley to 6500rpm and be at 73565rpm on the impellar.

Your either getting belt slip or your BOV is leaking.
With the Flip Drive, I run a solid tensioner above the crank pulley-the belt still needs to be damn tight-when I do it I have to remove the dogbone tensioner to get the belt on.

We would also need to know your camshaft specs to figure out a boost guestimate.

No real solid way of knowing 100% what boost you should see, but I would be guessing about 15-18lbs??? Just guessing off of my 408.

What air filter is on it? I know some Procharged guys have issues with not having a big enough filter/dirty filter and that limits them on boost. Can you try taking it off and doing a pull?

also open the blow off valve
remove the air filter
and runned it in the street
