Thats a good idea. Have any ideas of what could be used? I want more part throttle boost with my blower. I ca'nt quite get full boost before a down shift.

I'd try one of them cheap manual boost controllers from eBay. Put it on the vacuum hose to the bypass actuator, open it wide open and start closing it till you noticed it getting easier to get into boost

Sub'd. I've lurked on here since around the time you bought this truck and loved all the combos. Wandering if you'd ever thought about an Edelbrock water pump? With Edelbrock's blessing I had mine modified locally by cutting the outlet on the front off and capping it off then opening up the truck location on top. Worked like a dream for 11,000 miles so far.

Engine water pump. It's a car style pump but can be modified to work. The outlet is on the front car style versus the top but after a couple of phone calls to Edelbrock including speaking to the engineer that designed the pump I had a buddy cut the outlet off the front and cap it then opened up the top and mounted the neck there. The front cap had to be clearanced to work with the Maggie pulley bracket but everything else works. The pulley itself is a bolt on and it's wide enough for Vette to truck pulley alignments. The only thing I would do different on mine is using a neck from a truck water pump versus reusing the Edelbrock neck. My stock radiator hose stretches enough to work but a truck neck would keep everything fitting like stock. Hope this helps.

It looks like the edlebrock pump is ~$360 and the pulley is ~$100, so it would be about $460 for a pump that would have to be modified. Seems like the PRW pump would be the way to go. Thanks for the input though

Two magnaflows, I'll find you a part number. Zero rasp, and still makes noise at Wo.
