yes boost = directly related to size of pulley unless you have it ported then obviously less but in simple terms yes haha

Drop pulleys and its going to raise your boost levels.. Certain things like Porting the Blower and getting a Full 3" Exhaust with H/DP will lower levels as you're flowing More Air. 2.5 and 2.6" Pulleys as well as a 2.7" You're going to need some types of cooling mods, Large H/e, Dual Pass and/or Methanol Injection. Preferably you'll want all 3 when going to a 2.5" or a 2.6", but some guys have gotten by with Meth only and or Dual pass and H/E.
