Metco Pulley Installed!
#16
Basically the roush is what comes stock on a lightning. Whipple is what most of the lighting guys upgrade too. Its why i purchased a Whipple. While your blower is awesome and will blow the doors off most anything 14-16psi is really the limit before thermal efficiency is a huge issue. You will need a motor before then anyway so enjoy the **** out of it now
Comp 127150 850-6200 rpm. Lift .48in .47ex duration 253in 274ex requires springs
Comp 127205 750-6400 rpm. Lift .45in .45ex duration 281in 262ex stock springs ok but i would upgrade regardless.
Or my favorite for this application would be the
Comp 127350 650-6400rpm. Lift .49in .45ex duration 261in 282ex springs required.
Hope you don't mind me going off topic Thomas.

Also, is the crank pulley an 8 rib, it appears to have more width than the stock one, but hard to tell from the pictures.

The Metco is an 8 rib pulley yes. And no the belt has to ride on the bottom side due to it's length. It's not a big deal. In fact I ran mine for two years with no idler pulley between the power steering and water pump with no issue at all.

So it is best to start at the crank (although more effort) and move up in the reduced-belt-slip gain-psi strategy. Rather then, just add a smaller pulley to the SC nose. This is just my way of thinking in a future changes sort of way.
I think this should be in the technical article section.
