if i drop down from 3.60 to a 3.00 or 2.90 how much boost would be gained?? i was seeing 10psi on my gauge before non-itercooled i am now intercooling it so i know it will loose a lb or so but im just curious if i will see my goal of a minimum of 15-17psi with a 3.00 or a 2.90????

 

wow

 

Its hard to guess since it varies so much. I have a vortech SQ trim S/C with a 3.6 and I make 10psi. My buddy runs an intercooled Procharger and he makes 15-16psi with a 2.8

I would look into a Reichard Non-Slip pulley if you go that small.

Hope that helps

 

Is the 3.6 pulley the stock pulley?

 

rule of thumb is 2psi per pulley size. each size down gets you about 2ps of boost. unfortunately each step down isnt always the same. from a 3.6 to a 3.0 you should see about 5psi, maybe 6psi. the 2.9 is so close to 3" that its worth about 1psi more then the 3.0" would be.

 

so since im going to loose a lb or so cuz of the intercooler i should go with the 2.90 then and i should get the 15-17psi?? i will use the rr ultra grip pulley and hopefully get no belt slip the pulley and belt are the last things needed to complete my project

 

call vortech, they could probably answer your questions better than it seems you may be getting here.

 

i did and the guy acted like he was choking on a sweaty nut sack and had no clue i think he thought i was speaking arabic or something those guys are puds at vortech and unless your buying something they dont like to be very helpful.

 

Yes


Do you have forged internals? Or are you going to be pushing 15psi with an intercooler and a Snow meth kit? That seems pretty dangerous to me. If you are interested in getting rid of the Snow Meth kit send me a PM.

 

yup new bottom end is forged and the meth kit is anyones who wants it but blackbetty has first dibs
