Just because the pully is rated at a certain psi doesnt mean thats the absolute. You have other factors that come into play as well ( I am sure you already new that ). I average 3-4 psi based off of what my boost gauge is telling me. I think your not looking at the 5 psi range till the stage two kit. I plan on forgoing that completey and just getting the stg 3 pulley and a gt 500 fuel pump and re tune from Brenspeed and calling it a day.
What I meant was I am used to seeing 8 - 10 PSI blowers like my Paxton was stock. I am well aware however that a 5 psi pulley wont always give 5psi. As you said... there are many other factors like intake and exhaust and cams and heads or belt slipage or temp and air density. I just did not realize the Saleen blowers were at lower boost levels that is all. But thatnks for the update

I have the new Champion #7989 one piece plugs. Have over 2500 miles and they are working great. No regrets.

Just be aware, the Brisk plugs are not platinum, so they will have a "reletively" short life, guessing 15 to 20 thousand miles where a double platinum plug will give up to maybe 100 thousand miles. Other than that, the Brisk plugs look to be OK. They are designed to be a racing plug.

I would go with Brisk plugs. I have had issues with Platinum Plugs in Power Adder Cars before.
They last longer butare harder to fire. TheOne-Piece Brisk Plugs also eliminate the infamous broken plug syndrome.

Thanks for the heads up but I have under 30k now and am replacing them so I will end up doing them every 25k anyway. I am just that way. Just like oil... every 3k even though everyone argues that you can go further, I figure that it is cheap insurance for my motor

Update on my brisks. They have seen over 2000 miles now (couple of road trips) and I have yet to see any issues(knock on wood)

They dont suffer from blow out and it cleaned up the idle a bit. Pulled the out just to check and they still look really good. No abnormal wear or coloring yet.

So I guess I would recommend these to others. Even though there are a few people who say that had a problem.
