The 12psi pulley is 6.5" in diameter and would spin the alternator 2.6 times for ever turn of the crank which she thinks would be more tolerable for the life of the regulator.

The problem with this logic is that the super charger isnt driving the alternator the crank is, you alternator is still turning as fast as it usually does because the belt turning it is being driven by the crankshaft pulley.
