Default Increasing Boost

I installed a D1SC Procharger on my '02 Z28. I has an SNS stage 2 cam 227/235, .613/.620, 110 LSA (I know not a good boost cam), P/P throttle body, full exhaust with cut out and spraying meth. It made 525/507 on only 7.7# of boost. My tuner told me I needed to increase my air inlet to 4 inch to get more boost. My question is how do I do that? I have twin intercoolers so room is limited. I am going to have to change head gaskets so while it down I want to get more boost if possible. Also I was wondering if I should go ahead and put a smaller pulley on the supercharger? I currently have a 4 inch pulley on the Procharger and a Morgan Motorsports crank pulley which I think is 7.85 inch.

Thanks

What is the reasoning behind the headgasket change? If you're that deep it may be worth while to jam in a cam spec'd for your setup!!
Sorry I can't help otherwise

I have a blown head gasket. A new cam is not in the budget at the moment. Got the procharger as a Christmas gift and wasn't prepared for all of the expense involved with install so the old wallet is screaming at the moment.

theres no reason to change your air inlet, put head studs and a set of mls gaskets in, pulley it down and make more boost. a cam would help big time
