Default Kenne Bell 1.7 6 psi.......get more psi??

Im looking at purchasing an 03 GT with the 1.7 KB supercharger with 6 psi, ive seen videos and such showing or stating they are getting 10psi out of their 1.7....not to be confused with the 2.1. Is this a mistake or is there a way to increase the 1.7's output? Thanks in advance!

BTP

All you need is a smaller pulley to make more than 6 psi.

What pulley setup is this guy running and how does he have so much power?

Looks like he has a 1.7L with a 9psi pulley, remember once you get to that point your gonna want an intercooler. Youll overheat if you dont have one. He doesnt necessarily have alot of power, Id estimate about 425rwhp-ish. If you have mediocre tires its not hard to drop from 4th to 3rd and burn the tires. Looks like he was pretty hard on the tranny considering it was grinding like a bitch.

I looked on KB.com and found nothing that remotely resembled the pulley in that vid, maybe im a tard though and missed it. Whats a rough est. for an Intercooler install?

Look up the price of the kit on KB.com. Maybe 250ish to install.
