Hey everyone, I have a 95 gt mustang with a vortech (B1) s-trim kit. I have two questions...
First, is there any way to quiet down the blower a little bit at idle? I want to lower the noise a bit more at idle and was wondering if there is anything you can do/buy?
Second, Whats the biggest size pulley I can run on a stock motor. I can see up to about 7-8 psi, and was wondering safely, without a tune and the fmu if I can run a bigger pulley size?
Thanks!

You need a SMALLER blower pulley to make more boost. [burnout]

[patriot] The V2 is the quite blower.

To be on the safe side you should stick w/ 8lbs of boost. You may be able to get away with more but I wouldn't try unless you get the car tuned. The result could be a blown head gasket or worse [patriot]
