Anyone have an estimate of how much boost the 3.7 pulley should make on my setup? Is it possible that 4lbs is all it would make?

One other question, I just noticed tonight that when I floor it my fuel pressure drops down to about 40 when it normally runs at 60. I do have a brand new Racetronix fuel pump in and a new filter, should this still be happening?

No!!! From everything I have read and understand even at peak fuel consumption you still want at least 50 psi, preferably more. Maybe this could be tuned around but I would just consider that dangerous.

I would think the blower cam would not bleed off much if any boost so I am guessing around 10 lbs. My 4.25 made 5.5-7 depending on weather and from what the Procharger tech told me expect 1 lb per .1 pulley reduction. Stock cubed motor, blower cam and full exhaust was on mine BTW.
