How can I get more boost without changing pullies on ATI?

I have a P-1SC with 8 lb pulley. I called ATI today and they do make a 10 lb pulley which I am willing to buy, but I am in no mood to remove the head unit to swap the pulley. Are there any other ways to get more boost, if so, how much?
The reason I want more is with the head and cam I have I only see 6 lbs at the motor and I could use an extra two.

The only thing that may increase boost (other than a pulley change) is to improve the air intake tract with a solid intake tube (possibly moving the MAF to the pressurized side and going to a 4" intake tube) and a larger air filter.

It's really not that big of a deal to swap pullies. I'd be surprised if it took you 2 hours. I'd guess about 1 from start to finish.

Jack car up
disconnect air intake, outlet
remove belt
pull head unit
swap pullies
put it all back together

You could do 3 things: use a smaller engine, use a set of less flowing heads or use a smaller camshaft. Or you could change the pulleys and or maybe rev the engine higher.
