Yeah, the restriction in the engine makes the pressure. If the engine flows well then it will show lower boost pressure for a given pulley, but flow relatively more air. I wouldn't worry about it unless it doesn't perform like you expect it should. Has it been on a dyno?

I am no supercharger on a stroker motor genius but, it seems like it would be out of fuel if it makes the power I think the motor should make.

67mustang; i think your right cuz it dose run grate and pulls nice! also it dose run good right at 40lb of fuel pressure if i go up it cuts out right at 5psi it seems to run rich right now how it sit's but i think it's cuz of my fmu it has a 4.1 disc in it should be a 6.1 ratio for my 30s right?

and no it hasent been on a dino. i have ran 11.9 NA with a 1.96 60ft at 118mph
and on the boost it would cut out if i was to punch it all the way down so i had to baby it a lil and ran a 13.1 at 122mph with 45lb of fuel. lol my 60ft way like a 2.69. i no it cold do way better cuz my boost would only be right at 3 and 4psi, first and 2nd gear were like all motor but yea its not leaning out at all with that disc and also after the track i cleand out my maf and it healped a bunch with the cut out problem. i also did lower the fuel to 40psi it dose need tuned i have just been messing with it my self for now tho. i do want to boost 8 9 or 10psi tho to see what it dose and hope it dose stay togeather. lol

a 6:1 disc would make it run richer then a 4:1 disc but 30lb injectors needs a bigger fmu then 4:1 i would get a Boost a pump or inline fuel pump and run 42s

ok NM i took of my fmu and bumped the fuel psi to 55 and ran it and it would still cut out what do u guy think it might be then? i was thinking my MAF sensor cuz its not a suck trough. oh it only cuts out when i punch it not when i feed it gas.
