How big is the stock LSA pulley? I thought from the factory they made 6-7psi but I could be wrong.

Cam may make some difference in boost, but not much.

Sorry,stock LSA pulley is 2.95 I thought stock was around 8.5 psi
I was told our truck crank pulley is smaller than a ZL1 or a CTS-V
LSA 9.1 Dia i read some where.

6.2L, tvs1900 rotor set (1.9L), 2.95" blower pulley, and stock truck pulley (7.24"), would be a boost of 5-6psi. With a 10% OD crank pulley it would be 7-8psi.

you can run a 2.5 upper and it will put you at about 10.5lbs..thats what i run on my setup with longtubes, and an exhaust. also the zl1 and ctsv use the same supercharger(lower)

to a ZL1 crank pulley 9.1 od. besides everything running faster ?

I don't think that pulley will fit without running the zl1 waterpump because of the pulley size on the pump.
