This was my tuners opinion, I was looking for Steve with Vortech to concur or set me straight. He doesn't support the 11psi pulley so I assume he will not chime in.

Well Ive decided not to put the 2.87 on .After getting the boost back with the install of the Crawford cats, but no increase in power .I kinda wish I had gone with the pulley first...to see what power I could have gotten from it . I was making [on a mustang dyno ] 350rwhp with 7.6 lb's boost....and now with 9.2lb's Im still at 350rwhp . I think I could have made good gains with less boost and been a little safer than putting it on now. I may have been able to go to redline with the 2.87 pulley and no cats safely . But now the boost would be to high to be safe . If some one tries it , You would have to get the pulley milled and take the edges off the part of the jackshaft that comes thru the bracket. Im going to keep the pulley on the shelf for now....Bill

Think I'll try the Vortech web site to see if they have it there . Did you finish the gauge pods ?
