How much boost do you think?

[exindust]

Currently with my setup at about 6000RPM's i hit about 8.5 - 9 Pounds of Boost... if i push it to 6300 or 6400 (rarely) i can get close to 10 pounds.

My question is... with my current setup and the HP/TQ in my sig... if i put on a one size smaller pulley from Paxton how much more boost can i expect? and with a tune obviously will that boost be safe? ( YES YES I KNOW NO BOOST IS SAFE) im thinking at 6000RPM's im looking closer to 10-11 PSI of Boost. The Novi-1000 from what i heard is supposed to equate to the Vortech S-Trim (most parts are interchangeable) How much boost, and how much of an increase do ya think?

REMEMBER THIS IS NON-INTERCOOLED

Whadda ya think?

first off, you shouldn't want more boost until you get forged internals.

theres guys here running over 400-410HP and a little more torque on stock internals... im looking more for 360-370 so.. i know im a bit safer... not safe... but safer.

With a stock short block I wouldn't go past 8-9 psi.

yup, if i were you i'd rather get LT's and a bigger TB
