My boost is currently 4lbs want to get a little more but not too much can't figure out how to get back on my original post not tech savy hope someone can help with finding a smaller pulley without having to go through ati

can you give me a break down of what mods and what car this is , i can only assume a ls1 camaro or bird .

And your procharger pulley stays the same size with belt on or off .

I dont recommend running a smaller than 3.4 with the 6 rib .

2000camaro ss longtube headers 38lb injectors racetronix 255lph in tank pump with hotwire kit car has 54000 miles. Its gonna take about a year or so to save up to rebuild motor to handle more boost than the 8lbs I should be getting just trying to get there without spending too much. Was racing a challenger 392 and should have been able to pull away but with only 4 lbs wasn't able to. It's disappointing to spend 6000 and not get what they advertised

how high are you revving it to ? stock valve springs? And you need to spend more if you want more boost . You need a 8 rib setup .

It has an automatic transmission can't manual shift because I'm parapalegic just dropped1800 in trans so far have 22000 in this car and should be close to 600 at flywheel with what's it thats why I did all this. In hindsight should have just built a motor.it's just not worth putting another10000 into it

Ya saw them online thanks will start saving so I can change out my pulleys and injectors. Just didn't realize that the kit you get from procharger needed so many upgrades and anytime you try to add HP you end up wanting more than you get. Should have done more research this is my first supercharger
