Are you running straight pump gas at that level?I haven't heard one complaint from anyone that's running this blower as yet. That says a lot too.
Sorry about the thread highjack, OP.

Hey guys just wanted to follow up. Evidently, MTI Racing got in contact with Magnuson about the pulley size question.
This morning I got emails from both Kevin at MTI Racing and David Gonzalez from Magnuson stating the unit will be built/shipped with a smaller pulley. David from Magnuson said the 90mm pulley would a good choice for the 1 7/8 headers w catted x pipe.

I would highly recommend you get a shorter belt, though, unless Magnuson is going to supply that. I thought I was fine with the supplied belt and 90mm pulley, but then I found my tensioner pulley eating into my intercooler hoses. The original belt is just too long with the smaller pulley. A K060975 fits perfectly with that pulley. The kit usually comes with a K060980.

He thanks alot! I forwarded the info to David at Magnuson. All your info has really been invaluable.
I think the 90mm pulley is a great choice for a pump gas car with headers. My car made 550 rwhp and 540 rwtq with that exact setup on 91 octane. At 7-8 psi max, I don't think a centri car would make much more, and even then it would all be at 5000+ rpm.
