IHMO to go smaller than a 3.0 you should consider larger injectors. You can run the fuel pressure up really high and make it work but you stand the chance of injector lock up. Go for the 2.6

Dont do it

You have a nice car & lets keep it that way. Do you really drag race...professionally?
On the street, do you seriously need 13 psi boost.?!?!
3 things even after you upgrade the fuel injectors
(1) You are running that "rebuilt" blower faster than the recommended impeller speed.
(2) On stock 10:1 compression, 13 psi seems too high and that excessive stress can cause internal engine damage.
(3) You will definitely need air-to-water intercooler & maybe water-methanol injection to keep things cool under the hood.

Since you're getting the new 350Z, why bother risking blowing your engine? Just stay put & save the money for the 350Z mods.

Just wait and upgrade the Z. On the other hand if you want that thing to be really fast than go for it. Just make sure you get bigger injectors.

I'd say, be a chicken with 300+ horses rather than

To be honest, I don't know why you even want to continue to mod the Max. With a 350Z on the way, why bother? If it was me, I probably would sell the Max. You know when you get the 350Z, sooner or later, you will mod that car too whenever parts come out for it.

Well, its not like it will cost you much to upgrade to a smaller pulley. But possibly, with this upgrade, many things down the line will/might be needed to keep your car tuned properly, ie. intercooler, H20 injection, larger injectors, etc. But of course, when you get your 350Z, it won't really matter lololol.
