You gain boost with the pulley, gain a couple with the ported blower, lose 1 or 2 with the long tubes and lose 1 or 2 with the cams. Should see about 16-18 lbs.

Yeah I am seeing 13-14 psi max so I think the 16-18psi guess is way off.

With heads, cams, long tubes, 8# lower, 2.75 upper and a ported eaton I was pushing 14#s @ 3,200rpms and then it would start falling off.

Sorry.....my fault. Should have actually totaled what I posted!

8lbs stock plus 8 lb lower plus 1-2 for ported blower minus 1-2 lbs for cams minus 1-2 lbs for long tubes = 13-16 lbs.

if your serious about running fast why not turbo or procharger?
