That is pretty steep for studs, but if it will keep me from pulling the motor a 3rd time I will pay it.

I think I used to be the one that ran the higest boost I used a 16 lb lower pulley and a 2.69 upper. However, I did it with the Magnum Powers not a KB. The highest I made was 26 lb at Lapeer Dragway but lifted both heads.
I did make 24 lb of boost at JDM on their dyno with Jim behind the wheel Shawn watching the dyno computer and Justin and I watching the gage. We only made 24 lb that time cuz Jim got out of it at 3300 rpm cuz of spring lift.
God Bless,

I just lifted a head; and right before it happend my gage showed almost right at 28.
#10JLP lower, 2.75 kb upper and 0 belt slip, the temp was 43f. Is this possible to make 28 psi?

THAT SUCKS
(believe me I know)For the record I'd say you are running more boost than most on a KB, I know a lot of people running the KB and most run a 8lb lower + the larger KB upper, but then switch to the 2.7 KB Pulley "only when they're going for their best numbers down the 1320". Of course there are a handful running the smaller pulley all the time, and then another hand full running a 10lb Lower, but as far as running both those pulleys "24/7", I'd say your def running more than most.
Me I was also a Boost Monster, I ran 25lbs of Boost through a Mag, but 22lbs was used for my 24/7 DD. Unfortunately by 1200 miles my built motor was gone, after taking it apart we found I also lifted a head, "even with the ARP 2000's". DEF due to Detonation in my case.....
Frigging detonation will destroy EVERYTHING, ^@$%(*&@^$%@(&$^%(@$&
and on a 43 degree day with that pulley combo, one has to assume without C16 there is a def chance that detonation was present, rememeber the most deadly Detonation is "Silent Detonation"......
So Sorry Pal,
BEST OF LUCK....
