Easy guys wer'e here to have fun.

I'm not sure that the PSI you see on your boost gauge is the best indication of the performance gains you will receive with other mods like headers.
If you flow more air and more fuel with less restriction is that not more power, with less stress on the engine's internals?
Isn't that what headers are supposed to do?

Whipple will re-program my PCM for the new pulley, i hope i can get more pressure but more RWTRQ and RWHP also. I install long tube headers and magnaflow because with 10PSI the backpressure on the stock exhaust system it's over 20 psi which really hurts the top end HP. I will let you know when i change the pulley dude.

Forgive me for coming off the way I did. Without guys like you and Jerry who have already installed the Whipple and started various upgrades, those of use just starting could get lost real fast. I have been trying to buy a supercharger since the first of May and want to do it right the first time. But getting fact based information, details on upgrades is a job in itself. Yes I'm having a bad month... I have never had such a hard time spending money for a mod in my life.

I dont understand why basic and upgrade information is to hard for all of the supercharger manufactures to post on their sites.

Sorry for the rant but keep posting your info, it is helping
