Just would like to know what a 3.375 pulley put out in boost. I read 8# to 12# of boost. the car put down 463 rwhp in wis. But car is now in the south, my need to put it back on the dyno.

On a 1st gen rotor whipple a 3.375 will typically put out between 10 and 11psi (peak). Add about a lb. of boost to that for a second gen whipple. For reference, Whipple switched from the first gen rotor design to second gen around Feb. of '08.
