Since boost is a measurement of restriction it really depends on your exact combo...

Typically if you can prevent the belt from slipping..."which can be a pia with a Vortech that has a small blower pulley, you don't specify if your 8 or 10 rib" on a modified car that will make 16-18PSI with no problems...

If you really want to crank up the boost and not have to worry about slippage, swap it over to cogs...

i dont want a ton of boost honestly my setup is going to be 600 with the race boss 302 with twisted wedge r intake 8 rib power pipe etc. just need a ballpark... my old vortech had so much boost i would have belt slippage and blow off my radiator hose and blow head gaskets...too much of a pain in the ass 10-12 is fine with me

Call Vortech they may be able to help you narrow down what they would expect on your combo, they will want to know what head, intake, cam, etc...

You could go to a 3.12"-3.33" blower pulley if you need to lower the boost once you get it up, that is much cheaper then swapping crank pullies.
