    I'd go the other route and up-size the blower pulley. Reducing the belt contact area on the crank pulley and a small blower pulley can get into potential belt slippage territory. Keep the stock crank pulley and throw a bigger blower pulley on and that'll help maintain the largest area of surface contact for the belt on both pulleys. That should relieve some stress on the belt and give you a good chance at not seeing much belt slippage under load.

    ^This is the best option as long as you have adequate hood clearance to clear the larger pulley.

    School me on supercharging my 5.0

    Ordered a 255lph fuel pump and 42lb injectors. I hope that was a wise choice.

    Now I am debating which way to go about tuning this car. Mega squirt or otherwise. I need the car to be drivable and pass emissions. I’m not looking to have the fastest car just something fun for the street.

    That will be plenty. Not sure if it works on the jellybean cars, but back in the day fox guys had good results using a tweecer.

    Tuners absolutely have a handle on tuning them these days. Add an SCT MAF n your all set.

    There was a purple jellybean here with a tweecer ....not sure if it ever ran correctly. May have been user error.
