what upper is usually ran with the 4 # lower? I currently have 2.93 with 2# lower and out out 15 #s boost on dyno, my tuner told me i could try a 4 3 with the 2.93 , is that a good idea?
Check out this new 4lb lower pulley that uses the factory cage

Yes, great idea as long as you're ported. You will then be close to if not maxing out the Eaton, I see 16.5# on a 2.90 and 4# lower.

I'm not ported right now . Plan on it but mite b Lil while .
Anyone that has PM'd have any thoughts on the price? I'm just a little uneducated on the price of things like this I guess? Seem fair?
I have my stock lower and the cage sitting in a box. Can't wait to send it in and get this upgrade.
Hope this doesnt turn out like that TVS blower...
What do you mean?
Massive delays.
Awesome Idea, But costs could get out of hand keeping the lowers in stock. But nothing a core charge wont take care of. Awe y'all going to make these for the gt500, lightning, ect...
I would try to patent for this, I heard some companies will take your idea and under cut you. I think it has happened even on this site before.

Might be interested in this as well, depending on price? I too have my stock lower and cage.
patent would probably cost too much but its something to look into. I believe the GT500 do not have this piece, they use something totally different. The lightnings might be similar but i would have to see a pic of what they look like, this might be able to be retro fitted for them too.
Don't be surprise if a buyer that lives next to UPR wants to order one.

What if we just want the pulley to install ourselves?? Can you pm me a price on just sending me the parts?
this is not something that just anyone can put together on their own. We actually had to build 2 specialty tools just to assmeble this back together. The way Ford made these makes its somewhat difficult to take apart and the way the new pulleys are made is even harder to assemble correctly with out those tools i mentioned.
It's good that you have addressed this early on. Hopefully you are also considering using different bushings in the pulley which seems to be another problem area. I had also considered developing a new lower setup at one time although my concept was quite a bit different than yours. Ultimately I decided that I didn't want to invest resources in solving the issues regarding retaining the stock cage. But it looks like you guys have really done your homework here... great job! I know what you guys did was difficult but it was the right way to do it. I'm sure you have a winner :beer:
subscribing....... How long until you think these will be ready for purchase. If you already answered this im sorry didn't read all the pages.
Ive already posted on this and I think its a good idea but I cant get around one thing and that's if the rubber bushings on a stk setup wear out can you imagin the stress on it with a bigger lower setup.
I have a 2.76 upper with a snub idler. What size lower would be best to run on the stock eaton that I'm running?
I have the Steigmeier stage 4 port as well, it might even be a stage 5 is what I was told when I called.
