Pulley question

[Dragon03]

I am currently running the stock Whipple pulley and the 4lb lower. I was not aware that when you change the lower you also have to change the alternator pulley....thanks to someone posting about that on here..so I got Whipple to send me their 17lb pulley and Im going to put the stock crank back on. I see this as being the easier of the 2 options imo. Does anyone agree disagree think its a bad idea?? I dont think it will change anything just maybe the blower is going to spin faster??

I would just put the proper sized alternator pulley on.... leave the 4lb alone.

It takes about 10 mins to get the alt out.

I would think that maybe I would get into boost quicker with the smaller pulley on the blower I dunno maybe Im thinking too much about this and should do something productive here at work:lmao::lmao:

Ditto.

Use the 3.2 on the alternator and leave the 4 lb. lower. You run the risk of belt slippage with the small upper. I have both 3.0 and 2.9 non-slip Whipple pulleys for sale, but I suggest staying with the upper/lower combo you currently have.

Where might I find the pulley for the alternator?

If you have an impact gun, you can change the alt pulley without taking the alt out of the car. Just loosen it and point it down, towards the front of the car.

Leave the 4 pound lower on the car.
