Help on pulley decision

Cureently I have a stage 2 with a 2.9. Was gonna get on that ZZP deal and get some 60's. I have a CAI,ZZP H/E, and haeader and downpipe. I was curious what most people were running with the 60's with similar mods. Any advice on if I should keep the 2.9 or change it out.

I would keep the 2.9 with your mods but many will tell you to drop to a 2.8. I personally wouldnt run a 2.8 unless I had meth or a h/e and a dual pass w/ option b,

meth is optimal. but you are safe with just a h/e. hell, some people run the 2.8" and 60#s with NO cooling mods. they will heatsoak very quickly but its safe if the afr is rich enough.

well in the past i never had any cooling mods. the first run would be great but then when we always turned around and went for another run on the highway, i could just feel the car struggling. my car was only good for 1 run and thats its. cooling mods changed that. h/e or dual pass with option b IMO

Prob not for the 2.8. For the 2.9 your perfect though. Different people will tell you dif things but you will heat soak quick on a 2.8 with just a h/e.
