the 8-10 lbs kit which is one step up from the v-3 entry level kit comes with more stuff than just a different pulley for the added boost such as a blow off/bypass valve for the added boost as well as a few other things.

you won't save any in the long run, upgrading to the larger boost set up, if all you have is 2k , then go for the 5-6 psi kit, I'm still trying to decide between the 5-6 vs 8-10, I'm leaning more towards 8-10 as I don't think 5-6 will take enough of the edge off for me
