OTs point about the centrifugal type being less sensitive to low RPM detonation is a given, but this chap is using a Lysholm.
For long term use and engine safety you will be more secure with a 4-6 lbs pulley.
If you use a 7-10lbs pulley it won't blow up a good engine. Not straight away anyway. 
Anything over 10 lbs on stock internals is looking for trouble.
For the overall cost involved spend 500 bucks on a good water injection setup and at least gain the horsepower from the pounds you are boosting.

You know Joe, it would be wise to aggree here... I tend to forget people are not *that* into R&D as I am... 6-7 psi would be my highest recomendation for longevity
