Quick answer--> "NO"
But how JLP and Sal explain it, you can get A LOT more HP with
LESS boost with the K/B and Works.
Bottom line no matter what you got up top. It seems our bottom end is safest at 2-4lbs of extra Pulley, of course faster at 6-8 lb's, but the more extra Boost you have, the hotter and higher cylinder temp and pressure you'll have. That of course, puts you at a higher risk to break.
Thats the idea behind the bigger and better aftermarket S/C's,
more HP with less boost and stress on the motor.
