Not yet. Where I dyno I usually try to get a few guys together and go all at once to make it cheaper. But I will soon. I'm just waiting on rotated mounts from zzp and I will be off to the track.

2.6

Simply put, the extra 500 rpms are worthless in the big picture but the extra low end of the 2.6 is a winner

I'd like to see low 13s. Last year I ran 13.6@104. Since then I've installed an Ottp long tube header, 2.5" catback, ZZP CAI and 2.6" pulley. I'm off to the track on the 26th so we will see soon enough haha.

I would say so. But if you like to put your foot into it lots then I would say no.

How is is a "no"?

Again, I will voice I had my car with JUST 2.6 and 60's. No exhaust work, no intake, cooling, etc. Just pulley and injectors. I ran a 13.2 @ 109. It's NOT hard to do and it's just like any other setup. Drive smart, you're fine. Bounce off the limiter and you're flirting with failure. Even a stock car can fail if driven stupidly.

People need to stop whining over .1" and just do it with a good tuner behind the setup.

I miss my 2.6 badly. If I had one on hand it'd be on but I haven't felt the need to spend $50 on a pulley right now. Damn I miss my TVS... Bike was worth it tho

Whoa whoa I didnt say no. From what I've heard from guys like Ottp is that a 2.6" isn't for someone who likes to beat on their all the time that's all. Very impressive time wicked! Must have had that tune spot on haha.

I wasn't attacking you man, just stating that you can drive on it all the time year round. People freak out too much/easily

Just measured the overdrive crank pulley, circumference is 20 3/8" so (20.375/pi) gives 6.485". So that effectively makes my 2.8" pulley a 2.615" with the added benefit of reducing rotational inertia.

Just FYI, figured this fits in here

wouldnt a brfpr be a really good idea in this instance since the stock ecm doesnt recognize boost over 17 or 18.5 or somethin like that? even though your tune could say 11.5 at wot being cyl gets fuel last and air first be flirting with the edge?

lol you should be or you'll be posting a rebuild thread soon.

Without it, at 20psi your only getting the fuel pressure 17.5 would get. You need a brfps
