10 lbs no meth no problem. Keep the tune safe you can get away with more boost and no meth.

I don't know whats on it, but I think a 3.2 will get you to about 10# with all else stock. Add a cam and headers and that 10# will drop to 7 or so. I would definitely get a custom tune along with that pulley drop.

Its gonna be addicting for you. Anyone wanna take bets on how long it takes for him to post that he is lookin for 11's?? haha

A 3.0 with cam and headers would make that thing feel like a rocket ship compared to what it is today. I wouldn't go that small without headers at the very least though. A supercharger really needs the right exhaust to see its full potential.
