OK so you need a smaller pulley to make it spin faster. What size should i get and what is the most psi my engine could handle?

First off we need to know what kind of SC you are running and more info about your set up. You can up the boost by changing out the pully. This will make the Supercharger spin faster and produce more boost. But we need more info on your set up. Depending on the size of your conpressior and your fuel set up will matter on how much boost you can run safe. 3 PSI on a LT1 is probaly producing around 70 to 80 horse power give or take.

im sorry, but i dont know a lot about this car becuase we bought it as is with all the mods. the supercharger turns out to be a paxton and is has a msd ignition and boost retard. i went to their website and they say 11 psi. is the max for a stock engine. but the thing is, i couldnt find a s/c for a camaro???

You need to look on the SC for a part # and look it up on paxtons web site. I would take it to a good shop that has a dyno and invest in a dyno tune this will add a good kick to the SC and make it safer. This will also tell you how your engine is running and give you some idea about how much boost is safe. I dont recomend going past 5 psi with out tuning and fuel managment and fuel upgrades.
