Finally going down to 2.5" pulley.
I understand what your saying and so fourth I ran it many of times I even run it on my ion and eclipse. I did 75 shot with 2.7 pulley and my eclipse 125 shot with 28 pounds of boost on e85. There is hundreds of factors that make the stuff safe and unsafe most the time people don't back the timing off which cause higher temps and pressure in the cylinders. I just don't see why a 50 shot would be a huge problem with a 2.5.
correct alot of factors, that would cause most peoples lsjs on this site to go bewn, all i mean to say is nitrous is not something to experiment with if one doesnt fully understand it, research, research, research. Then try it, say on a 2.9 or a stage two pulley, I hear the torque spike is intoxicating

I wouldnt run a 2.5" pulley w/o a ported head, but thats just me.
Your gains will prob be minimal w/o one, but I'm def. interested to see your results.

yea me to I would love to see a 2.6 or 2.7 pulley setup with just mabe a zzp ported head and tune. to me that should be a solid 290 or more and will be a great contender to the tvs pump gas setups for guys looking to stay with the m62. Why havent more people done this anyway but they will buy the tvs with the stock pulley and still not make more than 300whp. Mabe its to just say they have tvs.
These cars don't make power with pulleys that small. you lose power or it stays the same, risk goes up. If you had a dyno to play with you could swap pulleys and you'd see it.
1/2 the parts in this market don't do anything. We meet a consumer demand. not to mention there are other applications and crank pulley changes that would merit a pulley that small.
There are quite a few guys on 2.6" or lower and I myself havent heard a single one wrecking an M62. I'm not saying there's noone out there but it's not a common thing. If you have the proper cooling mods i say run it. You can make some good torque with it. Something to try anyways. I may just have to do a back to back dyno pull with my 2.8" and 2.6" to see the gains.

we are going to put a 2.5 on mine in the spring
currently for cooling i have meth, dual pass, fmhe, and we will also be porting the blower and throttle body before the 2.5 goes on, and retune of course.
and while the blower is off the car its going to be rebuilt.

Are you doing sleeves as well?
Frew you made 16psi on a 2.7 on a ported head? Thats weird to me since I only made 15.5 on a 2.7 on the stock head, but Im guessing elevation and climate has something to do with it.

He is also on E85
To be exact it was 16.33 psi@ 7400 rpms, there are so many factor that play in from exhaust size, air temps, elevation, etc its really hard to pin it down.
