I would do a 10-12 psi pulley or get a power pipe.

RE: how much boost?
ok but what i'm sayin is do i have a 6 lb pulley or 8 and what size pulley will i need to go to in order to get 10 or 12 psi? what are the sizes of pulleys and their boost ratings? will a stock motor hold 12 psi? I think Nanaki has 12 but is that safe?

A power pipe will not net you any more boost??? That's just a smooth inlet pipe. They call them power pipes! You need to measure the diameter across your pulley. It is probably close to 3". I'm not sure what a 10-12lb pulley but you can get them on ebay for around $20-80 plus shipping. They run $75-150 in the stores depending on the size. Maybe a 10-12lb is around 2.6"???
