The kit came with a 3.33 inch pully for the blower
The question that psj asked me was how big was the crank pully. Thats what i did not know.
Any ways what can i do to my current set up to get more boost. And where do i get the parts. .. Thanks

we
need
to
know what size the crank pulley is, maybe go to their website or email jsnee@vortechsuperchargers.com.
LS1 kits come with 8.00 crank pulleys and LT1 kits do not.

Im Aiming for 8-9 psi. Since its a stock bottom end i know she cant take much more.
I sent an email to vortech and they said they they have 6.66 inch crank pulley that would get me another 2-3 lbs of boost. But they said they do not know what size belt I would need becasue they have never sold this type of combo before.
Any one have any input on belt size.
Thanks PSJ for the email link.

I've never understood how some guys see 13lbs. with the G. I saw 5lbs. with the 2.75 on a 418 C.I.D.. I saw 6lbs. on the 346 with the 3.15 and just headers. I think the 9lb. claim for the system is misleading. I never knew about the smaller crank pulley, thats interesting.

I have two LT1 buddies who I can check with who have done anywhere from 6 to 15psi.

Be very carfull with the SQ versions they can't take the abuse that the spur cut gear units are taking. Just a warning. You might look into a larger charger maybe a t-trim like SC-Mecham-ws6 is suggesting. Good luck!
Email zbass28@aol.com and he should be able to tell you what crank pulley you have.
He has a 355ci LT1 with heads, cam, 9:1, FAST b/b piggback, M6, and S Trim pulleyed for 10-15 psi.
