2.76 From Billetflow upper and the matching idlers. With this setup you can reuse the stock 75.1 inch belt. I ran this setup for about a year before the Kenne Bell. No bigger injectors or BAP or bigger MAF was needed. This is the case with 90% of Terminators through my research and years on the board...
Power was around 450/450 and the car pulled hard
Good luck
don't bother with stockers.. They are already on their way out. Metco.
Everyone always says you have to upgrade your idlers when you change your upper? But why is that? The belt isnt spinning any faster so how would the idlers make a difference?
Damn it!You are right, and I have thought about that too. You are only spinning the blower faster - everything else stays at the same ratio - unless you install a larger lower pulley. With that being said, though, it is never a bad thing to upgrade those cheap stamped ones with a quality billet part from BF, or Metco. I happen to have both on my car. I have a the Metco dual bearing snub idler, but BF ones for all of the others. Very low mileage on the BF ones, though, and they are already starting to tick when cold.:nonono: Guess I will be replacing all of the bearings this winter. Only downside to the BF idlers, is that they use cheap bearings, so you don't get nearly the life out of them as the stock idlers.:rollseyes

Damn it!
WE DO NOT USE CHEAP BEARINGS!
If you have a suggestion as to what bearing we should be using, please offer it up.
x264647374 !!I would look into a new set of idlers.
Just do a search. There are numerous threads on the stock idlers failing. They break apart and take out anything in their path.
