Holy Cow you and I have a very similar setup... The only difference is that I have 60lb injectors, th400, no cam, and a D1SC... You may not dyno that high but you should get some really good times with it... Do you have a Trans brake??

No trans brake. Have goal to hit 10s off the foot brake with stock short block. I dont really care about dyno numbers. Car could make only 400rwhp and i wouldnt care aslong as it runs the time.
Currently only see 4-5lbs. Would like to see 8-9lbs. Not sure which way to go here. Smaller blower pulley, pick up an MMS crank pulley, 8 rib upgrade, or get a better suited blower cam for my setup & throw on the ported heads i have.

With the same blower and pulley I saw 8psi on a stock engine at the same RPM, surprised you are seeing that much with that sized cam.

But with a TH350 and a 9" I was in the 10s off the footbrake with almost completely stock suspension and 9" slicks so you should get n the 10s no problem I would think.

Get an 8 rib kit! I got up to 14psi out of my P1SC with a 3.4" pulley using the standard 7.65" crank pulley. Of coarse that was with the filter off, but even with the filter and hat on it made 12psi. This was all with a 224/232 .581/.595 114+2 comp cam... However, you are pushing it on the stock pistons...

+1, that'd be hot to run that kind of boost, but on a stock motor... eesh man, you're really pushin it. 8 should be enough on a stocker for now, be happy and build a forged motor and cranker up!

left lane both passes (ignore reaction time, i wasnt trying to cut a light). Track was a joke. There had to be about 20 spills & engine blow ups during the night. Wanted to try a few different things but simply didnt get a chance to.

1st pass 2nd pass

Was only launching at about 2000rpms & having to wait for boost at roughly 35-4000rpms. 4200-4500 converter will def. be going in this winter and maybe a transbrake soon after.

Have a vid of 2nd pass ill post up when its finished uploading.

I'd say 0 pounds of boost. That small of a pulley with a 6 ribber will be slip city. Step up to the 8 ribs set up from Procahrger or SDCE. Both get the job done all day and night.

Already have a 3.0 laying around.

Forget about belt slip, what should the #s be.
