pulley question

[JTSVT03]

So I'm finally going to pulley the cobra but I dont know what size pulley to get. I'm basically all stock. I want to get a pulley that will give me a pretty good power gain, but at the same time I dont want to go with too much boost and break something. I had the 2.93 in mind. Any suggestions?

Billetflow 2.76 :biggthump

Don't forget you'll need a Custom Tune for it.

Heaton talk is like gibberish to me...

Skip the 2.93... you will eventually regret not getting the 2.76 the first time.

Get a 2.93, because then you'll end up porting it then you'll end up getting a Whipple or KB..

 

[JTSVT03]

Thanks guys. The only thing I'm worried about with the 2.76 is breaking something. Is the stock heat exchanger and unported eaton enough for the 2.76?

Yes.

Yes, I ran that way for 30000+ miles and 200 passes at the strip.

Fuck the bullshit and get straight to it or dont mod it at all.

Just go w/ a Speed Inc. Intake, Catback (i.e. Bassani, Borla, MAC, Magnaflow, or SLP etc...) 2.76 upper, 100m idler, new plugs, and a tune by Kurgan. Heck for a couple bucks more throw a MGW shifter in there too.

Put ya 45X - 47X RWHP (Note: RWHP #s are estimates).

Then after that mess with a mid-pipe, port or TS, and suspension etc.

Good luck and most of all... HAVE FUN!

2.76 upper,accufab tb and tune by kurgan 472 rwhp good power for little money! Then save for the ts

Right

Sounds like the OP has a concern with longevity/durability. I think a 2.76 with a tune will provide what he's looking for (~75+rwhp/75+rwtq). Not everybody has $5k to dump into their car.

I'll attest to that!

Billetflow 2.76, you wont break anything as long as you have a good tune with it.

Never, Im a pioneer for when the mullet comes back. Or maybe Ill just let it grow over my eyes too!

Wait? Party in the back, Party in the front and business on top? I smell a revolution.

 

[JTSVT03]

Haha I defintately dont have the money for a KB or Whipple atm. Anywhere close to the Downers Grove area that gives a good tune, or is the trip to Kurgan the way to go?

IMHO KURGAN

When I had my work done @ Speed Inc. he went out there (Speed Inc. in Schaumburg) & tuned it.

Best bet is to look over the sponsor page here @ csvt and contact folks (other choices as well) from there.

 

[nytebyte]

This is all good since I was considering a 2.93 as well.

I don't plan on ever running DR's out back, so would going straight to a Whipple be a bad idea? I have 285's back there now, but wouldn't be against going to a 10.5 wheel and 315's. Would a Whipple be too much for this tire combo?

 

[gnxs]

At anything more than low boost or less than 65 mph.....Yes.

As long as you have a good tune you wont break anything. These blocks are made to take some nasty abuse. I ran a 2.8 pulley for 19k and never had any problems. Now run a KB and a Kurgan tune and car has no problems @ 572 to the tires.

Just make sure you make it all worth the mod, like catback, x pipe and cold air intake. That should put you anywhere between 440-470 rwhp on a dynojet. But always remember they r only numbers, having 500rwhp on paper does not mean your car will go and run a 11.50 et you gotta work on it. Good luck.
