Default Upping the boost?

Tonight at the track I realized that I was only getting 6lbs of boost when I was running on the track. So, if I want to up the boost how should I do it? I have the "7lb" pulley. I assume that if I switch to the "8lb" pulley, I will see 7lbs. . .what size pulley should I order?

:cheers:

Saw your trap speed of 116. My ATI setup will start making 7# at redline and after you get out of 2nd in the A4, that's not until around 135mph. My pulley is 3.90 and is the p1 7# kit.

I have 3.42 gears so I get out of second somewhere around 85mph.

So, I probably have the 3.90 pulley. . .I am considering going to the next smaller pulley. . .last night I was trapping between 114-115. :lolg:
