Greetings: I saw no references to this when doing a search.

I was wondering if I could just run the smallest blower pulley and the biggest crankshaft pulley to get maximum boost from the blower. In this case a 210 Whipple that is capable of 30 PSI.
Then plumb in a regular Waste gate (like in a turbo set up) at the back of the mid plate (where it would discharge only hot un-cooled air) and have it controlled from the driver's seat. It would give me the capacity to run 8 PSI on the street, then be able to dial in any amount of boost I wanted for a special occasion without having to change pulleys.

The other benefit would to have the monitoring system be able to instantly cut boost if the AFR went lean, a knock developed, bad gasoline or even if there was a temperature spike.

Anyone ever hear or do this?

Thx Miz

In theory it's possible, but I don't think physically it is. The trucks have a system that does this under vacuum..
