I was getting about 13 PSI of boost with just the 2.6 pulley. I am hoping for 17-18 with my new mods. Don't get hung up on the boost number though. It is just a measure of restriction. Your heads, cam, and exhaust will lower the boost number, but make more power.

Great insight. Thanks for that reminder. Of course I'd still love to make 20 psi
