3" pulley installed; WOW!
I just finished installing and testing my 3" pulley, and all I can say is WOW. The difference in power is extremely noticable, and my boost gauge is hitting 15, thats right, FIFTEEN, on the stock electronic gauge, FIFTEEN PSI!!!

Took me about 2 hours, mainly due to the tensioner being retarded and me not being able to get it to slide down. I have a CEL that comes on and off, P0171 because of my intake. I didn't notice any difference when I did the boost bypass mod... Unfortunately now, when I powershift into 2nd, I lose traction; completely.

yeah, I have some very hot champion platinums in there now, but I was going to change them to TR55IX but someone told me those aren't good...
i'll go to the track as soon as its open, april 1st. I was running low 14's before any mods.

i'd like to see some dyno #'s with the 3" pulley

The 3inch is IMO the best pulley, Yes you get more power out of a 2.8, 2.7 ETC. But then you may be spinning the blower just a little to fast, Id rather prolong the life of my blower, by keeping it as close to factory as possible and getting some more low end, plus you dont need Engine Managment, or some Piggyback, just one step colder plugs!
