RE: More boost question
Now, after posting that, I know Army will come out and post. But Army is prepared for what might happen as he's stated in other posts. MSP is also going this route, but he added all sorts of cooling to his ride, meth and other safety precautions he thinks will prevent any issues.
If I were to do it, I would do the 25 shot and window switch and a tune by one of the top tuners, that has experience with dual power adders.

RE: More boost question
in that case i think i will go with higher psi. this car has become my daily driver because im starting to like it more than my others =). What pulley size do you think would be the best? Also one other question a little off tangent here. Im running 3.73 gears. Now some have told me that a 3.55 would make it run faster. Somehow i think that it would be a 4.10 to get it to boost faster. Do you have any opinion on that?

RE: More boost question
Not sure on the pulley, ask Scrming. As for gears, you are a centri, 4.10s would be optimal to get you into boost from a dig, 3.73's would be my second choice. For 3.55's, they would probably be better for FI that builds boost early, like xchanger and turbo.

yep definetely need the tuning. Kind of leaning towards more boost to always have it. I know the n2o will work fine but if the psi boost works just as good i would rather go that way.

As Rygen mentioned you should be in the low 13's with 10PSI... I ran 13.4's in 90+ degree heat with a 325 pound driver!
if you are running stock size tires (27 inches) 4.10s might be a bit much... also with the 4.10s traction might become an issue... I'm running 4.10s but:
1) I'm running a 28 inch tire (vs 27 inch)
2) I'm driving with my DR's on full time!
I also agree... for a DD I would just stick the 2.87 pulley on and get a nice safe tune... lower your shift points a bit... I just picked a 2.87 off e-bay for $35...
