I've seen a bunch of threads for Eatons and different models of KB's and Whipples but I haven't seen anything with the KB2.8 blowers with Mammoth intakes.

Here is a link to KB's website showing the stock (7.5") and underdrive (6.55") crank pulley/upper pulley boost guide.

I'd really like to see other upper/lower combos (like 3.25 upper/4# lower). Please post your pulley combos, the boost it made, and if you have cams/longtubes.

I'll try to keep this post updated.

GodStang - Stroker, Stage III cams, 1-7/8 Longtubes.
3.75"/6lb lower ~19.89
3.25"/6lb lower ~24.76

Bring that oil filter stem to work tomorrow so I can finish with the motor. Want it in the car next week hopefully. Need to mock up the KB and confirm fuel system design/fittings

3.5"/2lb lower ~ 18psi

Stock Longblock with 1-3/4 Headers

Just Curious, the KB boost chart says a 3.5 upper with the stock lower is supposed to net 18psi. I just purchased a 2.8LC Mammoth and have the 3.5 on there, I have a 6.55 lower to get me 15psi for my street tune (91oct) by the looks of what boost people are actually making it's only going to pull 14psi???

Headers reduce boost. I lost about a psi adding Bassani Mid Lengths to my car, but picked up 22 hp.

Thanks everyone. I ordered a couple different sized pulleys from KB directly. No more ugly flat metal look, they finally sell them polished now.

Anyway, I'll be running the 6.55 underdrive for a while and have a number of different pulleys too. I do have 1 7/8" longtubes and an 4R70W trans but it should help add to the database.
