I'm also at 5000 ft and I run a 9psi pulley with no problems. If you bought your car from a lower altitude, you should release the pressure inside the supercharger's nosegear. I bought mine used off a guy at low altitude, and always wondered why the input shaft seal under the pulley leaked. I opened the fill plug to add some fluid and a hiss came out and a few droplets sprayed out. And this was with the engine cold. So there was a few psi inside the gearbox causing oil to weep out.
