Boost at altitude
If a procharger was making about 11 psi at sea level with a 3.85 inch pulley, how much will it make at 5000ft altitude? I live in Colorado and I just need to know how much boost it will make here.

I guess I just need to know if I will be safe running the 3.85 pulley on my stock engine. It goes on the dyno tomorrow. My tuner who is very experienced with blown vettes says I will be fine, but I guess Im just nervous and want more opinions.

GOOD quality fuel(and plenty of it) conservative timing and work up to full pulls you should be fine.Besides,all the guys on here use the blown up motor excuse to build a new forged stroker,why not join the crowd ! Best of luck,you should be fine,we have a C6 with a very similar setup on a stock LS2 making 7psi for over a year,all stock and he drives it hard ! Oh,and we are at 4500 ft,I feel your pain !
