yeah Id like to know who makes that...I no not kno the efficiency of the blower other than other people/users "saying" it peaks at 14/15psi.
Id like proof behind this theory...

They do make a higher cost ceramic bearing replacement set for the CT/paxton blowers to help combat the added heat that takes place with the added blower speed.

Well by the responses I'm going to do the 12lb pulley 
Injectors I'm going to educate myself a bit more and see what will work.
thanks everyone for the suggestions

not related to the thread, but I got beat tonight by a C6 base model Corvette. So now Im swapping out my 70mm test pipe for a 63mm. Obtaining a CR catback for free (straight through mufflers vs my AP1 twin loops), ill be deleting the resonators on the catback, purchasing a 3.0in pulley and getting it retuned at King.
What do you think?

Thats very impressive. On 8.6psi (what the 2bar map sensor read) I was putting down 323/202 in marhc with a 70mm headerback with Invidia V3. Now I have a 70mm test pipe with stock exhaust putting down 319/191. However, my gauge reads 10psi at redline with my 12# 3.2inch pulley.
I dont think a smaller pulley is really the answer, I know ill see better gains with a better flowing exhaust, buts its just not in the cards right now. Im on a super tight budget with trying to buy a house within the next year.

A little more about my configuration.
3.6 sos pulley/10psi at 9K rpm with f22
stock header/60mm tp and tanabe dual cat back
8lb flywheel
stock ecu/injectors/ adjustable rate fpr
Water/meth injection

wait your on a FPR? How on earth are you not leaning out? Especially with the stock injectors. Your setup is not a "common" way of doing it, but kudos to you for pulling it off
No its not common at all. But it works well. Could it be improved upon? Definitely and it will continue to evolve somewhat, but so can 90% of the set ups out there. I commute 100miles a day in this car and went through several sessions at the track on Monday. Its effective you could say
