So I'm going to be buying a cxracing intercooler kit for my non-intercooled paxton. What size pulley will I need to use to stay at approximately 8psi? And will I need a pulley puller to get it off the supercharger?

Thanks for the link Bruce I'll read that thread. Does this kit require relocating the coolant overflow tank at all?

I've had 10psi with a
3.8" pulley and non-intercooled Vortech Si
3.6" pulley, aftercooler, and Vortech Si
3.4" pulley, intercooled, and Paxton 2200

They all made it around 6,500 rpm. Every time I needed to get the pulley off I just took the head unit to my local speed shop and they took it off with an impact. I think a pulley puller would pull the old one off, but I'm not sure how you would put the new pulley on.

Use an impact to get the bolt out. Or maybe a strap wrench to hold the pulley if you have to use a ratchet. Once the bolt is off the pulley slides off. It's not an interference fit.
