i'm running a 9 pound pulley right now with the stock disc for the fmu that came with the stillen kit. As long as you still have the fmu and the upgraded fuel pump you should be ok.

The smaller the pulley, the earlier the supercharger spins up. You'll boost sooner and have higher peak boost.

9 to 10 psi seems to be the safe limit, without additional upgrades to the standard FMU and fuel pump setup.
