    Nobody knows. Turn the pulleys around and see whatcha get.

    I've found the more overdrive you give it (like in 5% increments). The less total boost you get out of it for each pulley jump.
    example:5% over = 5 lbs. total
    10% over = 8 lbs. total
    15% over = 10 lbs. total
    So, I don't think you will know until you try it. Just remember to keep your tune up on the rich side when you add more boost.

    Like Fiat 48 says , reverse the pulleys and try it. That would be going from underdriven to overdriven and should make a noticeable difference.

    taled to the blower shop today and they said run it 1 to 1 to get 7 psi the swap the other way would have went way beyound the effiency of the blower
