So my 3 inch pulley has been fun but I still want more. I want to throw on the 2.75 inch pulley for my supercharger. I also plan to put on some longtube headers as well (I need to figure out which setup for this too). Will the stock motor still be ok to handle the smaller pulley?
Thinking about going with a 2.75 inch pulley. Too much for a stock motor?
- Thread starter Quad4_72
- Start date
How much boost is the 3.0 making and what will the 2.75 make?
Right now I make about 8-9 psi. I would estimate the 2.75 would put me somewhere in the 12-13 range. Keep in mind I am at 6100 feet altitude as well. Here is an article where they dynoed with all the pulley sizes. www.mustangandfords.com/how-to/engi...rcharger-install-e-force-feeding-your-coyote/
I think most tuners recomend 11psi or less on a stock motor... I have BBK long tubes. I think they are really nice for the money. At your power level, an off X pipe & stock headers will probably make around the same power as long tubes though.
Thanks. Do you happen to know anyone that has gone above 11 psi on a stock motor? And what their results were? And you really think an offroad x pipe instead of doing headers as well would be all that I would need? That would definitely save me some money
Also would just the x pipe need another tune?

I ran 11psi on my stock motor for most of last year. With a little race gas mixed in I ran 10.60's @ 131mph... Some people push the stock motor above 11psi to try to run 9's. Most of them plan on building the motor anyway, so if it blows it's not unexpected...
11sec_lx has gone 9.90's @ 138mph this year with just cat deletes from Jegs & GT500 mufflers...

Well since we are on the subject of exhaust now, I found these on American Muscle:

They got some pretty good reviews. Think it would go good with my setup? Also I think I may go ahead and give that smaller pulley a go...

Honestly these are questions for your tuner to answer for you, and with a decent tune that edlebrock SC isn't going to make enough power to blow up your stock motor.
Well I guess it is a moot point now anyways, because i dropped the car off today at the EDP shop down the road from me to get a turbo kit put on with an E85 tune lol.
Wow! That wasn't long... 9 months ago you swore by the Edlebrock and your already giving up on it! Not trying to bust your balls, but what's up with that?
Don't get me wrong, Edelbrock is an awesome kit. I had a great time with it and would recommend it to others. But I feel like I want a bit more and I want to see what a turbo feels like. Sure I could have gone with a smaller pulley, full exhaust, etc. But I decided I would rather put my money towards trying a turbo. I ran with a guy last weekend who had the EDP kit on the lowest boost setting and he beat me handily. The start was close but the high end of the turbo destroyed me. And also the thing just sounded awesome. So I made the decision to give it a go. There is so much potential with turbos and much more room for expansion. I already have a buyer lined up for the Edelbrock to offset the cost too. And Danny, the guy who owns the EDP shop, has his kit on a GT with stock internals and they ran a 9.9! And it is her daily driver haha.
I have been wondering about the turbo thing for a while and seeing the EDP kit in action was kinda the kick in the ass to get me to pull the trigger. Having his shop 5 minutes down the road from me was a big plus too. I leave for Australia in two days, so when I get back on the 23rd of July the thing will be ready to go. Perfect timing to get work done! I will probably throw up a thread to let you know how it goes!
You will be extremely happy with the EDP kit. Danny is a great guy and will take good care of you!
That's cool!
Also when your ready to go fast, make a swap to a automatic!

Haha yes if I could only go back in time I would probably go automatic. That will be the next build
Yeah danny seems real cool and loves what he does. I cant wait to get back and picm the car up
Just remmeber what scott said. A auto is in your future!
