blower/pulley problems??

Now that pulleys come in all shapes and sizes for our trucks, has anyone had any blower problems from running a big pulley? I remember it was a hot topic when the L first came out but that seems to have gone by the wayside. I trust my tuner very much, but for the amount I drive my truck, I'm wondering if a 4# pulley is too much. Thanks for the help
PS You can bet your sweet A@# that I'll put 38 pounds of boost to that baby if thats what it takes to beat that new dodge!!!

Talking I like your attitude!

whip,

I have had cronic problems with the idler pulleys, but it is/was not related to my JL lower pulley.

38 pounds of boost, Hmmmmmm....

I'm doing my best to determine if there are any drawbacks to the JDM lower 4 lb pulley. So far the only one I have found is gas mileage.

hey Aaron

I haven't had any problems with my pulley setup.
I think a 4 pounder will be fine for you.

I want to see you put that 38 lbs on your truck, that will make a big bang.

I've only got the 2# upper pulley (still pull the boat and being a little conservative with the tuner's suggestion/approval) Had to replace the supercharger belt, but I think there was a problem from the factory with the original belt. The only other problem is the tire wear. I hope to get about 10,000 miles before I have to buy some more!!!! Supercharger makes a lot more noise
