I have a 3.60 pulley on my supercharger and I have a 3.12 pulley and belt. Any rough idea's on how much the boost will go up? It is on a DOHC cobra with a SQ V-2-E trim.
 
Thats like 2 steps down in size, so prob like 4-6lbs more.

If the 3.60 is like 8-10psi then i'd think you'd see like 12-14psi or so.
 
We are only getting around 4.5 psi right now. I was thinking of getting a power pipe too before I change the pulley
 
I know its not the same, but my 347 with 8.5:1 comp, with the s-trim & 3.00" pulley made 10-11psi.

I'd double check and make sure you're not getting slip.
 
I have a 3.33 inch pulley for sale if you need one. BTW I have a 2.95in pulley on my car and it only make around 9PSI and it's a stock motor that's never been taken apart....well, until now.

Who just tuned your car? I think that the low compression is hurting my boost a little and I am ordering a power pipe Wed. I need to get rid of that crappy flex tube for the inlet.

No leaks, the motor is very sound and on the dyno did not see nothing that we thought was belt slip.

Walsh jr did it, picked it up today with offical numbers check the member rides all have a graph up soon. Could you have a really small leak around one of the pipes, spray some soapy water on the piping and see if it bubbles up. See what the power pipe does but you should have more boost then that the compresion diffrence might do 1psi no way it would change 4psi.

The guy that tuned it told me I should put a intercooler on it if I go above 8 pounds? It has billit h-beams, 04 cobra block and crank, and ross pistons. The blower is good to 22 pounds vortech said.

You dont need a intercooler over 8psi, I had 9psi on mine people run 15-20 without them, maybe a meth kit if you wanna be safe. Its a s trim blower right you will over spin it befor 22pounds but iam sure you could get 15 outa it perfectly fine.
