Default What pulley sizes for F1R?

I am in the process of building a 402/408 iron motor with a F1R kit for my Firebird. I have a set of Patriot Stage 2 LS6 Heads, about 8.7:1 CR, Speed Inc. SC2 camshaft, and Kook Headers. I need some suggestion on both the supercharger and crank pulleys. I want to run one pulley on pump gas and another for race gas. I remember MMS made a larger crank pulley to reduce slippage at higher boost level. Do anyone else make it? Can I go larger on the crank pulley? My idea is to swap the crank pulley to change between the two boost levels. Also, I think I have an 8-rib pulley system. I don't know because my kit is in Indy and I am in Germany. Will this due for let's say 20psi of boost or 1.92:1 overdrive on the belts? I am trying to get a zero issue setup on this combo.

Here some psi amounts I have heard about:

408 : 224/228 cam : 7" crank , 4.1" blower = 11 psi
414 : 229/236 cam : 7" crank , 3.85" blower = 13 psi
402 : 236/245 cam : 7" crank , 3.7" blower = 15 psi

Mostly C5 setups.

The 7" crank pulley is the stock size for the ATI supper damper. All these are running 8-rib setups. If you are running an F1-R, it only makes sense to go with a 8-rib version.
