    I see 10# w/ the 3.25" pulley. Remember, higher boost doesn't necessarily mean more hp/tq. Don't get too hung up on how much boost you're seeing.

    well i gained about 2.5-3psi with the 8in pulley BUT i gained a consistent4-5 mph in the ol 1320. Which I calculate right around 40 to 50 more rwhp. So yeah of course i wanna try more!!! But you're absolutley right. I read the article with the Kenne Bell on the 03 snake and @ the same the boost level (18psi) the KB made over 100 more horsepower. The same will apply for the 1000 and 2000 series blowers.

    Although I am collecting parts for a 12.5:1 393 :D

    Cobra33, I've got the new Novi 1k kit. Each pulley swap I did, I saw a gain of around 30-40hp....and that's w/ a very conservative a/f ratio.

    damn i want the 3.25 blower pulley.......whats the deal with upgrading to a 2k from the revised 1k? arent the brackets pretty much the same? i just keep thinking that the only step left blower wise for me is to upgrade the blower pulley to a 3.25, then anything else would be over spinning.......hmmmm,(future planning).........

    well i'm going to try to make the ol 120k mile motor last another season with just bearings, springs, lifters. I have so much going on at home with the wife in college and we're redecorating ect.....

    i'm gonna tame it down for a while and and add the cage, axels, and a new converter.
