Why is it time for more boost?
Whats wrong with learning about the system that you have?
How does it respond to various changes due to weather?
What are the strong and weak points of your system?
What can be done to make it work best with what you have now?
What is needed to make more power without problems?

Get on the phone with Magnacharger. I spoke with their technician yesterday before I went ahead and purchased a Whipple. He told me boosting at 10psi is pushing the supercharger and it will void the factory warranty.

He said 8psi is good, but don't run the drivetrain at too high rpms... Maggies' should stick to GM...

magna doesn't make pulleys for this kit..... and yes hes right 10 psi is too high, the blower it self isn't large enough to flow the air.

im just looking to get 8 psi.

because of his free flowing headers and new intake he can run more power with less psi, so the same power but less strain on the engine, so why not up the strain to where the stock unit is and make even more power with minimal more stress on the engine

cant learn anything if you dont try it, because everyone has their own opinion

...

id say tuning is his weak point right now that and running a lower psi then alot of people do

to work best with what he has tuning but that cost money so might as well buy a cheap pulley and get it tuned for the new psi too

like i said free flowing exhaust yielded him same or more hp with less psi therefore making it safer to put more psi into it
