Ken pm'ed me about going down to the 3 1/2'' pulley,advised me not to,I am seeing 10psi at times,so I think Andy already went down a size for me.I have a question for you though,I was looking at your engine again and was wondering what that smaller hose is on the inside of the plenum(not the right term) but its the one where the brake hose goes into and then there are 2 more hoses,you had hooked up your pcv valve to it at the begining of your install and it wasn't right,I looked at mine and I don't have anything on that side.

Shhhhhhh, She FINALLY fell asleep..
Your most power is gonna come from the cam. I wouldnt even waste your time until your ready to do the cam. You will get a serious power increase.
When I looked at the cam design on my car, I approached it with the thought that I already had TONS of power avail down low. So the charicteristics of the blower would compensate for any loss of low end with a top end designed cam.
So if it were me, I would concentrate on a cam that is designed to pull the hardest from 3500-6500. This way you dont ADD power to the RPM's in which you already have a ton of power in..

Bottom line mate you can get all the power you want with your k/b.
