Vortech V9 G-Trim: how much power from 6 to 9 PSI?
I have a 6 PSI Vortech kit, how much power should I gain going with the smaller blower pulley used in the 9 PSI kit?
Is that really a good idea? The engine is internally stock and has 75'000 miles.
I don't have the intercooler used in the 9 PSI kit but I have a WI to cool the charge air. Is that OK if I stay without intercooler?
Thanks!

Sorry for my late answer, but I haven't received any email from the forum about your posts
Without WI the IAT is around 170F @ 5 PSI and drops to 80F when the WI kicks in (in summer, really hot days). The WI is active from 1 PSI so it cools the charge air pretty soon.
...lasted over a year means that... you blew the engine after a year?
510 rwhp only with the 9 PSI setup?
How much PSI you were making in reality? (I think the "9 PSI kit" is making around 7 PSI...)
