yea defintley, make sure ur gap is .35 with ur setup. You may have fouled them if your running rich all the time.

your temps were too high cause you did back to backs with no cooling mods.

im guessing it didnt studder ont eh first pull it happened on subsequent pulls, because of the temps

Reading your sig and info:

Your car's not a lemon the person who modded it was either an idiot or an imbecile (I think the two or the same)

The anwser is go to 2.8 pulley, or 2.9.
New plugs. (check to see if they're fouled and will know if your running real rich. Also get a wideband!
Let me scan it to see where it's at and I can see what the tune is.

thought the cobra he was on already....

ew dude 2.6 shouldnt go on even with cooling mods. You will gain more HP sticking with 2.8 and proper tune.

Yeah back to back pulls is not good. Just do a pull and let it cool down for like a couple of minutes before you do another one...Let the iat's drop a little bit...That's what I do....

<---- on my 2.5 pulley not one single cooling mod or engine/tranny mount and my car ran strong.....

Im sure it runs strong but you would be suprised if u slapped a 2.8 on and compare your dynos.

He doesn't have a Cobra H/E
He's using a B&M Oil Cooler as a Heat Exchanger.

Also a 2.5 even a 2.6 puts the Eaton out of it's effencieny range.
All the people here who think going with smaller pulleys to get more boost (PSI) need to understand I can run faster than you on 12lbs of boost than your can do with 20lbs.
Why? Ask Ralliartist...... I don't feel like going into it right now.

Someone said dyno difference between 2.6 and 2.8. Yeah, big difference as in 2.8 will make more power than the 2.6.

I'm just proving that my car lasted 40k miles with a 2.5 pulley and i've taken down a c5 vette 75-140 mph with no cooling mods. In m opinion my car is pretty quick. But I now have cooling mods since the turbo obviously haha i'm not going to push it that far
