Super charger waste gate question

[lxenvy]

K i have a cog setup now. Should be setup for 28+ on a opened up 310ci motor. My problem is i need to get the boost way down to run for my setup. In order to do that i need to change pulleys and go to like a 10 rib set up. I dont want to can i run a waste gate to bleed off any extra air. Lets say like i want 10-15lbs and wastegate the rest??? Any info on this will help. Thx

Thank you, Im need to know what size wastegate i will need and how much is to much for a wastegate to bleed off.

I'd go with the biggest you can get. if needed add another. It's only gonna bleed off as much as you tell it too, as long as it can keep up. Cant be too big.

do you have a stock block or is it just traction issues? you can do it but there are other ways

[dsmawd350]

his build thread says completely stock shortblock (rods, crank, pistons etc)

What he said Rob, What do u mean there is other ways?? Plz tell sir

change pullyes before you do anything, i know you dont want to but if you try to "pedal" a cog belt setup "gettting on and off the throttle to maintain traction" or drive it on the street alot your going to break alot of belts. and there not cheap. You can use a wastgate but it sounds like a tunning nightmare. you can limit the rpms and timing to control boost somewhat, on a stock block it is just a matter of time until it splits. If you have anytype of failure with the wastgate and the boost spkies....bye bye shortblock. I would change the pulleys to be safe.
