You can get 10# out of the stock one with a power pipe. That's a better route than changing the pulley...less work for the Vortech. I think the "general" guideline is 1-2 PSI for every pulley change.

That would be funny, but if it was my old one I'm sure he'd reconize colorshift. I sold it at a FFW swap meet 2 years ago.

You need a 3.12 or 3.15 for 10-12#'s
A 2.75 will give you 14# or that's what I had on my S-Trim.

If you have some calipers, you can measure it.
Did you get the BTM with it or do you have another way to control timing?
Seriously, I had my timing back down to about 19 when I was seeing 11 lbs.

Yes it should be along the outer rim on the backside of the pulley.
