Problem with Boost

I put on a JDM 2lb pulley a few weeks ago and finally got out to the track last night. Befor I put in the pulley I was turning out 9.5 - 10lbs by the end of the track. Now I get to 10lbs after about 60ft but the problem is that I only get to 10 It races up to 10 and then stops.... I tried pulling the boost dumb wires but it still just goes to 10.

IS THE BELT SLIPPING

According to Jim himself, all the pulleys fall a bit short of the actual rating. 2 Lb is more like 1.5, 4 is 3.5 ...so on and so on.Not to mention the factory guages aren't the most accurate around!

Is this a 99 or 00 with a stock air box? You may be starving the filter.

If you are useing the stock boost guage, put a after market boost guage on your truck; if you really want to know how much boost you are pushing. The stock boost guage is good just let you know you have boost.

A filter kit, if you dont already have one is a good idea as well.
