I have no before/after logs, but I do have a video that has my clearly-audible belt squeal before the belt wrap kit and now it's quieter than a mouse farting in Helen Keller's ear.
But recovering that 1 psi with the kit sounds about right. Could be more if the belt's a little old and loose.

I did the belt wrap kit when one of my pulleys went bad because it was cheaper to get it than the OEM pulley! Besides, can't ever go wrong with more wrap on a blower, especially if you are using a smaller upper pulley.

someone posted dyno comparison and I believe the belt wrap kit added 21HP to the wheels
not really added, but minimized power loss due to slipping

"someone posted dyno comparison and I believe the belt wrap kit added 21HP to the wheels"
Toadster, I would say this is a correct statement...as far as "added"... For example, use headers. You would say "added" though it could be just as accurate to say "minimize power loss due to choking of the exhaust"...
just being technical, and I like to look at your sig pic!
