Default What can a B16a handle?

I have a B16a motor with about 50k miles on it. I am looking into getting a JRSC for it and was looking at the high boost packages that they offered. It comes with the supercharger, a hondata reprogramed ECU, RC 440 cc injectors, and a 6,8,and 11 pound pulleys. Can a stock B16a handle the 11 pound pulley or should I use the 8 pound one?
