I had a lot of regret at that point because I didn't spend all my time at the drag strip and the car was a daily driver so I couldn't enjoy it on the street. When I bought the ZL1, I said I wouldn't make that mistake again.
If you use it on the street a lot, just running a bigger pulley for lower boost. Run the small “kill” pulley on track days. Or use a boost controller on the bypass like Crawford sells, or use a product like Smoothboost to let you make boost level changes on the fly like the Crawford setup but using an electronic bypass instead of the vacuum one.

Of course, do as I say, and not as I do… I don’t do any of that stuff and have to drive like grandma on the street so I don’t spin if it’s under 80 degrees out…
