how do we turn up the boost
like 8-9 psi im going to the tract tomorrow i wanted to get like 10-11 but im just going to run it the way it is
The only way I could get more boost from my stock 7 psi was to go with the smaller SC pulley. Now it will produce 9-10 psi. More importantly that just the gauge numbers is the massive increase in seat of the pants feel and acceleration improvement. Just remember not to go too small or it will work against you because the computer will pull timing if it detects any knock. Make sure you have lowered your intake and exhaust restrictions and keep that intake charge as cool as possible.
I don't understand why people change the pulley. Sure you increase the boost pressure by a small amount, but the supercharger then spins 2000-3000rpms faster. I estimate this would probably produce around 30% more heat. When air is heated it expands, just like anything else. If the air expands, you have less density in your engine, thus decreasing the performance gain, that explains the use of an intercooler. I think an intercooler beneath the supercharger is one of the best mods you can do to your car. Installed beneath the supercharger, it would cool the superheated air comming from the supercharger to a nice cool temperature, which is good... Most people probably have noticed that their cars have a noticeable HP gain when it'* cool and damp out.
Back on topic though.. The supercharger will also draw more engine power to power itself, thus negating the performance "gain" you hope to achieve. A pulley "upgrade" is not something that I plan on doing, and i am not sure why my info says i have a 3.4"pulley, because we have the stock pulley.
Just my $0.02

The intercooler does help tons though! It is the only way to go IMHO if you want to get serious with your L67!
