You guys think a smaller pulley would be better than a boost pipe assuming a 2psi increase with each?


The boostpipe will make the blower more efficient....but at the same time I would imagine a smalle pulley would make more boost throughout the entire powerband vs. the boostpipe which is supposed to make 2 more pounds up top right?

Click to expand...

lol, If I got both I would be running like 14 psi...which probably wouldnt go over too well....besides, my tuner wouldnt let me.

if your already at 10psi i would go with the boost pipe. you will probably only see 1 psi though.

boost pipe. You'll be spinning the blower less with it.

boost pipe like the others say. doing so will also keep you from reducing the pulley/belt surface area, meaning less likely to slip.
