[QUOTE="JP_Stang, post: 11279913, member: 112328"] I run a Bell intercooler also, so I will have the loss. I agree with your pulley combo, I just said that I wouldn't run anything under a 3.2" blower pulley with a 15% overdrive. I am just telling him what his impeller speeds will be at certain rpms so he can make the judgement call on what pulley combo will be best for him. OP, I am not trying to get you to not go with the 15%. I am only sharing information that I found when I was at the point you are at right now. I had several people tell me that the 15% overdrive's caused their water systems to over pressurize. The only thing it really caused for them was the fact that they couldn't keep radiator hoses from popping off. I just didn't want to have to deal with that so I went with the 10%. With that being said, 98 isn't the first person to tell me that he didn't have this problem so obviously there are people out there running the 15% with stock water pumps and not having any issues. As for the head unit overspinning comment, I am that guy who doesn't like to push my parts to the extreme limit (anymore :)). I am not rich by any means and I live on a budget with a family I have to support also. I love cars and they are my passion, expecially Mustangs. So when I build a car and put this kind of money into it, I just want to make sure that I do everything on my part to make sure that the car and its parts last as long as possible. Being in this hobby, it is certain things are going to happen and being "safe" with my parts doesn't mean something won't give out, and I am aware of this. It is just part of it. I am just sharing my opinion with you. So when I tell you about the limit of your head unit, I am sharing what Vortech recommends, not what it may actually do. It is just the protective side I have towards my builds. I just can't afford to gamble with it like I used to do. When I was single, I would have spun that baby to the moon! I just can't afford to take that chance anymore. Any how, it is just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
