Yeah I got a 7" lower with a 2.875" upper, if I go to 3.25" upper or a 6.5" lower that's put me about 2.09:1 to 2.15:1. And with my supper chiller boost reduction, I think I'd lucky to make 5lbs with that set up.

P.S. I'm looking for a automotive style keyed front shaft if someone has one laying around ( Blower is apart rebuilt and waiting to go back together .

They may have been 3.5" and 7" stock. I can't remember for sure, and thinking back, I think they were.
Either way, you are more than 2.15 overdriven.
Divide bottom diameter by top diameter and you are at 2.43:1

The high altitude was supposedly just a smaller upper pulley.
I've heard Merc had them but never seen it listed in any parts lists.

Ok need to figure out windage tray options.

​​​​​​I plan on getting a "offshore" style 8 to 10qt oil pan, is it better to run a oem style windage tray bolted to the main caps or get a pan with a windage tray in it and eliminate the oem style one?

You don't need anything more than the stock setup.

Stock are 8qt pans and should be fine to 650-700 as long as you have a good oil cooler.
Same pan is used on the 700sci
