Pulley down, you have more power to tap.

Gears, Pulley, Forge the rotating assembly, build a larger cube motor.

Personally I would get a nice set of heads. Just be prepared to see the accual boost number drop due to the decrease in head restriction. So a nice set of heads, a pulley, and a retune.

i was thinking on doing that... but if i dont put new heads and just do a new pulley for more boost will i be save with the motor?

I was running 11psi on my 5.3L, you should be just fine, these motors are pretty stout. It is the drivetrain that is the issue on these vehicles.

I would definitely ask for specifics, I know plenty of people running high boost on stock engines.
