Supercharger Pulley Suggestions?

[BlaqSnake]

Hey all,

I'm looking to change my pullies (top or bottom or both) on my '03.

What is a good combo?

Looking for around 450-460 RWHP, and to keep the blower stock for now.

Thanks

450-460hp would be easy with a 2.8 pulley. You'll also need a tune with a pulley change. Have you done anything to your car now or is it stoc?

I went 2.76 Billetflow non-slip upper only and SCT tune. That will pretty much max out a non-ported eaton from what I've read. It make a huge difference in torque over the stock pulley and quite a bit of HP gain too.

Do a search on this and you will find a crapload of answers. Either the 2.8upper or the 2.76. I went with the 2.8 upper and made 468hp before the x-pipe and Accufab TB. Now I might go with a 2lb. lower also.
Good luck and with the extra boost that things gonna fly.

2.8 upper here.

 

[rsilver]

just want a 4 or 6lbs lower pully

I did do a search on this but nothing exactly ansewered my question. i hope you guys have some ideas. I want to stay as stock and stealthy as possible.
I need to keep myself from getting the waranttee voided and it lasts another 5 years from ford. I think they will notice if I do an upper pulley and even if I pull it off, you can see the mark. I would just like to run a lower pully probably a 6#.,

does someone make one that looks stock? do you need to change anything but the blower belt? is stock idler adequate? No sense in doing it if I am going to need a bunch of idlers.
I have a CAI and fr500 exhaust and would like to add the pully and then get it tuned and dynoed, I would hope for around 420/430 hp more or less.All suggestions would be appreciated as i came from carbs and chevy small blocks and then spent years with obd1 computers burning 1000's of chips. I don't know much about blown cars.. thanks for any sugestions............rsilver

My friend got a 2.9 upper from redline and it looks somewhat like the stock pulley. Its chrome, and he got a idler with it also. All you need with a upper is pulley and idler and a belt thats it. You dont need a bunch of idlers. Its very simple to swap it back to stock pulley and mostly likely they wont know. With tune, pulley, intake, catback you should be expecting 450ish range.

I would get all of the idlers. I was not going to until my friends cracked and threw a belt. I have heard them damaging hoses, radiator, and the crank pulley when they grenade. I just installed all of my Billet FLow idlers (the best hands down) last week with my 2.8 upper.

Thanks for the info guys

I see a lot of 2.8 suggestions. At what point are you overspinning the blower? Making too much heat?

Does anyone like to go with just a lower pulley (6#) like rsilver was thinking about?

The 2.76 is the smallest i would run on a unported eaton. I went with the 2.8 because i got a good deal on it. Im seeing about 14-15psi. I would definately run a 2.76 as well. I am sticking with the upper because it was cheap. The lowers do cost more. I say go for a 2.76 or 2.81, TR6 plugs, BF idlers, and enjoy your new power!!:rockon: You can even use your stock belt if you use the idler setup with the 2.7 or 2.8 upper.

 

[Reidboy]

i would like to know as well , 6lb lower only ? is this good

 

[rrpederson]

go on to www.lightningforceperformance.com and look at their power packages. reasonable prices and great parts. i would put them up against any other parts out there with total confidence. look at my sig for combo and numbers.

Keep in mind if you're only looking for 420-430rwhp, your CAI and exhaust plus a good dyno tune will probably get you there. I wouldn't risk five years of warranty on just a lower. If you're going to void the warranty, go big or go home.....five years is an awful long time to wait. :rolling:

 

[snake134]

you can get 500rwhp on the stock blower :shrug:
