[QUOTE="black4vcobra, post: 13224828, member: 82394"] I didn't drill the basket, wish I would have as my tuner told me to do that also. I didn't know about that trick at the time of install. I had another guy helping with the install and we just swapped the new pump in for the stock pump after we trimmed the lid. As far as boost, the 3.48" is the pulley size that the kit originally came with and they don't specify the boost level but they do claim that the kit increases power from 320 to 464 - [url=http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustang-vortech-supercharger-99cobra.html]Mustang Vortech Supercharger System - Satin (99 Cobra) 4FR218-010L - Free Shipping![/url] So if you take the 415 it put down and divide by .85 you get 488. Considering my car also has LT headers, the power level seems spot on for the kit. I would bet the same pulley and supercharger would provide 8-9 lbs of boost on a 2V though since the heads don't flow nearly as well as the 4V heads. I thought about going with a 3.33" pulley but I also want to keep the motor intact until I can afford to build it, so I went with the pulley originally included in the kit. [/QUOTE]
