ISO a Griptec 3.00 Pulley for a 2.9 Whipple Gen 4. New or slightly used preferred. Thanks!

To The Top

I just ordered a new intake Tube to replace my Gen 1 tube directly from JLT. You don’t have to by the whole kit, it was like $149 and includes new couplers as well. The kit isn’t listed on the website but they will hook you up if you reach out.

I am trying to get everything put together for a 2.9 Whipple swap. I am going with a 3.5 upper and stock lower for now. The belt is one of the last pieces. I checked the Metco chart for a stock Eaton, but the chart doesn’t list a 3.5 upper. I am installing all of the Metco Pulleys (100mm aux...

Like others have said that small of an upper with no lower, you may have a problem with belt slip. I’m going to start with the 3.5 on E85, then maybe jump to a 4lb lower at some point. BA3000 should be more than enough. I have a Mafia now, but I will be switching to the 3000 when the blower...

I only have an auxiliary idler now, with a 2.8 upper and not had any issues, but I’m only on a ported blower at 500 hp right now haha big difference

Yeah I figure that may be a problem, I’m throwing all the Double Bearing Metco Idlers on during the install as well.

That’s exactly what I’ll be running except ID1050s and E85. Shit maybe I should just go with the 3.0 instead

What kind of fuel system are you running? Injector size?

Do you have longtubes as well? Any issues?

Those are good numbers! Maybe I should meet in the middle and go with the 3.250 and shoot for around 20lbs. Since the Longtubes will bring the boost down a little.

After speaking with a guy with a similar setup, like I mentioned above, I’m not sure I’ll move enough air for the boost level with the 3.0.pulley without the crusher setup. 3.5 upper on E85 700/600 still pretty solid for the time being.

I just spoke to some else who said he made 700/600 with about the same mods I have, 3.5 upper/stock lower with E85 and standard inlet. He said he was told upping the boost won’t do much until you add more air

That’s kind of the range I was thinking, just not sure if a 3.0 Pulley will be too much boost, not enough air without the Crusher/GT500 throttle body/intake

Im assuming you are going to drop a pulley size when you switch to E85?
