Default Switching Pulleys. To much Boost?
I have a vortech v2 on a 4.8 rcsb with LT. Tuesday Im putting on a 2.62 pulley with anywhere from 11-15 psi from a 3.33 with 7 PSI and 42# injectors.
Is this to much for my engine?

I think most will agree 10lbs on a stock block with good tuning and methanol is doable. I know others make more (i make ~11lbs) but for the most part 10 is where the line is drawn in the sand.
