Whipple pulley?

If my 3.118" pulley makes 7 lbs of boost on a 454, what will a 2.875" pulley make on the same motor?
Hp now is supposed to be 650ish. So hom much more with the added boost?

add 2-2.5 lbs or 9-9.5 lbs of boost. Should add between 50-75 hp, depending on a few variables. Eddie

I got to! I got beat @ Perry. Besides, injectors & pullies were cheaper than new propellers.

It would put you at 9psi+/- and into race fuel. (to be safe anyway) From my experience expect no more than 50Hp more. It could be less depending on your setup.

BTW, the reliabilty goes way down at this point.
