What kind of boost from a 3.6? Also I have an Anderson power pipe so I may gain 1-2 lbs of boost.

Sorry I'm a little thick when it comes to s/c.

Thanks again

Anytime you upgrade your flow, like heads, you drop boost pressure because your engine can flow more air. So if you have 8 psi on a stock motor and upgrade your intake and heads/cam, your boost pressure will drop. So you need to replace you pulley with a larger one.

I recommend you go with 3.6" pulley and call it a day. You should have no problems hitting 375-380 rwhp but don't go much beyond that or you will end up like me needing to build a new motor.

Don't even worry about how much boost you make. Your looking for around 350 rwhp so go with a 3.6 inch pulley and it will make that no matter what boost you make.
