J/k... just get a different pulley, look on vortechs website and places like superchargers online and ebay. a 3.33 pulley will get about 10lbs... just depends on your setup

TRADE MY Mach 1 HOOD + scoop set up for easy GT install (attached, no intake system necessary, unless you want it) for a COWL hood and maybe STOCK + CASH (but probably not). The hood is painted silver, in great shape, does need a color sand, but thats no biggie. Would prefer a swap for a silver one, but will consider many options. Need to trade due to changed plan on this car. RTP/Greensboro/Charlotte
Theres a section in december issue of MMFF magazine where they took the 3V GT with forged internals, the 4V svt cobra and the 5.4L Gt 500 and topped them with a Kenne Bell with 20 psi of boost. In order to make that much boost they also had to swap crank pullies. I don't think You do but, I would have never know you had to do that. I thought it was just you had to swap the blower pulley.

They put a smaller crank pulley on them because if you put too small of a blower pulley on it all it will do is slip and the 8 rib setup will help too.

If your just looking for 10 lbs then just go with a smaller pulley. The general rule is that you gain one lb for ever .1 smaller you go with the pulley. If you were making 8 lbs with a 3.4 pulley you can make 10 with a 3.2.
