The amount of boost a car makes is dependant upon a lot if things, e.g., cam, heads, displacement, etc. The better question is how much power are you making? If you want to make more, go with a smaller head unit pulley. There is a really good deal from someone selling a Flip Drive, which will help prevent slippage when you turn up the boost.

Upgrade to an 8 Rib setup and keep your 3.4 pulley to see the end results, I did not do a IC Overdrive Balancer, if I did I would see more boost than I do now on my little 347. I have zero slip with Andy's new bracket and 8 rib setup, recently certified his setup at the Texas Mile where I saw 20# in 4th gear and 16# in 5th going through the traps at 6000 rpm and a mere 190 MPH

You hear the same issues with belts from installing blowers. If you do it correctly, you will not have issues. If you don't, forgetaboutit.
