well I knew I would lose some boost due to the tubes and intercooler , just didn't think it would 2 pounds , I 'm using the 2.62 to get the 13 psi , I 'd rather run the 2.85 pulley so I don't run the Vortech rpms so high , thats why I 'm gonna change intake tube and go to 3" pipe . I don't actually run it ***** open much , most the time I'm just cruising. I had two track days ( about 8 passes ) and maybe ran it to 6ooo few other times , but I 've had the Vortech since march and most the time its in by-pass mode !
lol dude, thats awesome about the pulley swap.. I thought about putting a smaller pulley to up the boost, but don't want to overboard and blow something lulz
running the stock vortech pulley right now.. pretty sure 8 psi going straight to the throttle body is enough, though I'd be curious to see if it can handle 10 psi.. most likely not, since it's blowing in hot *** air! rofl
You're not kidding about the bypass mode.. driving daily, I never get into boost. Not even on the highway.. makes me forget theres a blower under there, except for the whistling of course.
What times are you running?? interesting choice going with the V3.. I see most with X-chargers on sixxers.

2 psi drop isn't too bad, it could have jumped your boost range from kicking it at 2800 to 3100.. that would suck.
