Default Re: Used Aftermarket Aluminum heads.

To reduce boost if the pulley you wrote about above is on the blower. You need to increase the diameter of the pulley to slow down the blower. A smaller pulley diameter will increase the blower drive shaft speed thus producing more boost.
Ross will make a piston that works with more boost on a special order. Been using them for a very long time at boost levels as high as 23 pounds of boost in our little stock block Ford flathead V-8 record setting engine's.
