Next dilemma..........do I start with the 3.2, 3.0, 2.8 pulley? with the over-sized crank pulley it's like running 2 sizes smaller already. Would 10lbs of boost be a good starting point or 8lbs?

What is the under pressure motorsports conversion? I would start out with the lowest boost possible and work your way up.

I was thinking I'd try the 3.0 pulley

The conversion is a 122 on 112 manifold

That Canton can is a nice piece. I wish they made an aluminum replacement for the stock plastic engine coolant reservoir... as they discolor after awhile.
