I have a Vortech T-Trim and I've run a 2.95" for quite some time.... This
gave me ~14PSI on the 318/360 setup, and ~9-11PSI on the 408....
I haven't had any problems as of yet, and I'm hoping I don't, because I have
a 2.5" pulley which is supposed to provide ~18PSI.
Then again, this IS a T-Trim "Race Version"
I have had NO problems so far with the vortech setup.
