    I would guess about 8-10 PSI. However, I don't have much experience with centrifugal superchargers. Have you tried contacting Vortech?

    I would say 10-11# if you're talking about an S-trim blower. I've never heard of a V-trim.....

    6-10 lbs to be safe and give vortech a call, and for carb i would use a 750 just to have room to grow with it you can always tune it down but again call them, & exhaust 2.5 will be pleanty, good luck
