Compression ratio and pulley swap question
So right now with a 4.10" pulley and stock compression I'm at 550whp. The new engine will be exactly the same CID but the compression ratio will be lower (about 10:1) but I figured the blower cam will gain about 50-60whp putting me around 600whp.
I want to swap on a pulley but I don't want it to be too much for the RST clutch to handle. I've heard about .1" is 10hp. I'm stuck between a 3.6" or a 3.7" pulley. I'd like to get some good power out of the car but not overpower my brand new clutch by screwing up the math and getting too much power.
Anyone have a good guess?

Yeah I went ahead and got the 3.6" pulley. Hopefully they have it in stock and can mail it out soon. Injectors should be shipped today or tomorrow and my clutch gets in next Tuesday. I can't wait.
