Default Increasing Boost on Procharger

I'm sure this has been covered before but does anyone know exactly what all is required to increase the boost on a Procharger from the stock 6lbs to 8lbs? It would also be helpful to know where to purchase the parts and approx prices. Thanks in advance.

In order to do this you will need to drop down the size of the stock pulley. I think the stock one is 4.50 so you will need to step down to a 4.25. You can call MTI at 281-870-8787 and ask for David or Ray and they will give you all the info you need.

Thanks for the info. I spoke to Ray and he said that the 4.25" pulley and a belt is all that I would need. At what point do the injectors and fuel pump need to be upgraded? Also, does anyone have any ideas as to how much power 2lbs of boost adds?

I'm not to sure but I think it is 25hp per lb.
If you do this you need to get a dyno tune with a wide band so that you can tell if you are going lean and running out of injector.
