4" pulley on my 4.8 equals 7 pounds. I do not recommend much more than that with a while unless you intercool it or put a meth kit on.
IATs are way HIGH!

IAT's equals Intake Air Temperature.... the more boost you run, the hotter the air is that goes into the intake. when you put an intercooler it drops the IAT's significantly

I have had the whipple before. It was a pretty good charger but it is not intercooled. A intercooler cools the air down that goes threw the blower into your motor. Using a intercooler you could run say 10psi as wear without a intercooler 7 psi. You can also buy a brand new intercooled magnacharger 112 for $4250! Thats what i have switched to over the whipple. I think it looks way beter/factory and just outperforms the non intercooled whipple. Just talk to brain@Magnacharger and he will hook you up! Know is Whipple is coming out with a intercooled kit but it is going to be around $6K and a couple months down the road....
