I have heard that the 8.1's are not recommended for more than 10-11psi even with an intercooler. I would be lying if i said i wasnt already thinking about a smaller pulley... 
. So how much different does 7lbs feel than 5 lbs anyway?

Look's real good! Just becarefull with the 'cast' internals. Mine started-out at 7#'s/boost @ 6000/rpm's. And now after the S/C-flash and the PCM-flash on 91/octane she's close to 9.1#'s/boost at 6000/rpm's.Just about the limit for my 'cast' pistons.
We figure about +800/crank hp.
And close to 700/rwhp. when were all done. Two stage Water/Methanol injection system. A little mist before the S/C and one just in front of the T/B.

Thanks for the tip Quick silver. This oofy big block redlines at about 4650. Also, i started with the 5lb pulley.....i did notice after the tune (I have always ran 93/94 octane) it did bump up a hair closer to 6lbs. I think I will be fine (i hope i will at least) given the fact this truck is really only driven once or twice a week at the most. Im sorry, but i feel like a giddy little kid or something with this thing now....you would think i work for Whipple or something the way i talk up about this blower. We did max this thing out a few times and the stock fuel pump is handling it just fine so far.

Around town he's got me at 14.2-15.6 Air/Fuel mix. But under boost she's "pig-rich" at about 11.2-10.1 Air/Fuel.
When I get home from work I'll post a Wipple Supercharger badge for you

This company will make just about any badge you want. He sent this to me for a sample of what he could do. He would put Paxton instead of Whipple, but you get the idea.He wants to make one for me that says "OVAL KILL" kinda-of-a-double-meaning...Hi-Oh!
