[QUOTE="SnakeBoostE85, post: 15863518, member: 160175"] I've hit 700 with a 2.9L Whipple on 3.5 inch pulley at sea level.. ID1000's, return fuel system, 23* degrees of timing.. I run a 3 inch pulley at 5-7000 feet now in Colorado... never dyno'ed it here. Makes about 17-18 psi at 7000 feet though. If you do go return style, install something to cool the fuel down or you will run into various problems... some folks dead head the rails and keep the regulator out of the engine bay... I took the easier, albeit not as safe, approach of installing a heat exchanger in front of the condenser. The problem is that the fuel pump runs full bore all the time and it only takes a couple minutes to completely circulate all the fuel in the tank. The engine bay and fuel rails sit right next to the boiling blower and constantly heat the fuel to the ambient temperature around the blower. I've had my fuel pump overheat on me, and I have also had hot starting problems, and lean conditions when the fuel gets to hot after longer trips. After I ran my fuel through a heat exchanger, all these problems were cured. [/QUOTE]
